A 5% swing to the front would be too close to FWD territory for me which is why I'm not into excessive plumbing and intercooling for the 86.
I really can't believe we're splitting hairs like this over a system like the Phantom ESC. It's meant to be a street system, not ideal for track - the weight distribution shifts/additional 14 lbs etc. sound to me like insanity associated with track rats. I remember reading somewhere that the 86 was your comfy DD car right? Why worry about 14lbs then if it's not a hardcore track car - do you even take your 86 to the track?
