Yes, there is one great advantage. It will keep you from running up front or in the rest of the pack, as you will be so dialed out, you will pull in after a lap or two and save considerable expenses such as fuel, tires and so on. You probably wont even need tear-offs either!......big savings there also.

Yep, the advantage of not doing weekly maintenance as you'll probably flip in the first corner.

yep,should work, switch front and top wings, also, remember the Larger rear tire always goes on the left, as for shocks , we dont run them (to heavy) decrease your unsprung wieght , what the hell leave the steering wheel in the shop, dont unload the car, and just threatn all the competitors of how "I would of kicked your ass", toss the beer can at thier feet and walk away, they'll understand, Honestly I do really hope you like your hard earned equipment , and second guess this "phantom" advice . but, this post did make me laugh..

is the valving you are describing compression/rebound or rebound/compression? i guess you could just turn the shock over and make it whatever way you want.  lol. also if you race with a weight limit you can add a couple of pounds of air to each tire to make sure you are never under weight!
if you are asking a serious question, and your numbers are R/C, i don't think any of us have been on a track slick enough to run something like that, or if we have, we have not been brave enough! if you decide to try it, let us know how it works out for you!
to indy and beyond!!

This will work pretty good on a very slick track.
If someone told you to try it the way you have it they were screwing with you.
