I scaled my kart with me in it today and got 61% rear/39% front at 433 lbs. I know the 433 is way higher than the 385 I am supposed to be at, but what about my front to rear %? We also scaled it with my wife in it at 46% ft/ 54% rear.

Ideally you're looking for 42-44 front and the rest on the rear. 43-57 is a good target.
