After reading most of the treads of set-up I'm not sure which it is, +5 or -5.

For a track car should I move the tower towards the windshield or towards the front of the car

thanks

the more caster towards the rear the more stable the steering will feel at speed and will give more on center feel to the wheel. it also helps by adding more camber while turning .
