lol, it's kinda hard to put into words...but i'd say less aggressive on throttle...more aggressive on the brakes.

before i added the suspension stuff to the truck, you could just keep it floored most of the time and hardly ever use the brakes, but now i've found that if i romp on teh brakes right before i go into the turn, that it helps the front of the truck from pushing in corner entry. my first runs i barley used the brake and plowed into the turns and killing my exits.

Re: my lastest auto-x..... *W/ VID*

all about controlling the weight transfer lol. overdo it and hit the throttle too early or hard and you go around lol
what psi are you running your tires at? and what tires?
messing with different pressure fore and aft will give you another adjustment on corner entry/exit as well

lol, no worry about goin around in my truck....i need a limited slip diff, the open diff killed my turns.

they are 245/50r16 Falken ZIEX ZE-512's

i played w/ the pressures some, mostly just keep them around 38-40 psi.
