Hey y'all I've got a 94 masterbuilt that I'm running in the vintage club at my local track. I need to know how much left rear bite I should run on a car that old. I've had people tell me 110 and I've had people tell me 40 or 50. Any input/knowledge is welcome. Thanks

There are so many different ways to set a car up and so many variables involved when tuning it. Shock valving, weight percentages, center of gravity height, size of the track, banking of the track, condition of the track...... The list goes on. There is no magic setup, just a base line.
The LR bite on the scales is only at its static state. Once you get up to speed and the chassis starts rolling around, that LR bite has now changed from its static state to its dynamic state. You need be more concerned with the dynamic state of the car and tune that. Don't get hung up with the numbers on the scales.
In other words, use you scales to get reference/baseline. Go run the car and give the car what it wants. If feels like it needs a little more bite, give it more bite. When you get home scale the car and document the numbers. You can use those numbers if the car gets damaged. Once you make the repairs, you can put it on scales to verify that it is back to your reference/baseline. Don't get hung up to much on the numbers starting out.
Another thought would be to contact MastersBuilt and request the set up sheets for that car. They have always been willing to share that information.
