Will Going F.I cause a lot of understeer?

How much more weight will a TT kit, or SC kit put on our front end?
Since our cars are a bit heavy up front i feel like they'll have a lot of understeer at a track with the added weight.

what have you F.I guys experienced at the track?

You will add about 85lb's to the front end

Just press the gas pedal, immediate oversteer, lol

Or take the front sway bar, a stiff as hell rear sway bar, and oversteer FTW, lol

I like to setup FR cars with square tire sizes for the very reason they usually have a forward weight bias. Then from their i would setup the suspension tune for rear end traction so the F/I power is used effectively
