In general terms, what does KPI do? Or should I say what would the different KPI's do?
Hypothetical situation:
2 karts, same make & model, setup identical (caster, camber, etc..) one has low KPI, other has more KPI. How will they differ?

KPI will determine how much camber the tire gains or loses when the wheel is turned. It also sets the inside point for measureing the scrub radius, which is the distance between the point where a line drawn through the king pin intersects the ground, and the center of the tire contact patch. The right front tire on a kart with less KPI will gain more negitive camber in a left hand turn and vise versa.
