Is the rear brake proportioning valve from the 2000's alfas good enough, or should he be using one of the racing (adjustable) versions?

Also, if the rear wheel is lifting, a stiffer front bar should help. For all its trouble, it is amazing how well the rigid axle alfa rear end works.

Finally, for track use, you can open up the LSD and restack the clutch discs to increase power transfer. Stock is about 25%, can up it to 60-75%. THere are four discs on each side; two are driven by the axle and two are driven by the diff carrier. Stock config has only one friction surface working; the discs are stacked c-c-a-a (for cdarrier and axle driven). For race you can stack them c-a-c-a and get a dramatic difference in LSD action. They do wear faster, so don't do this on a street car.
