With the aluminum small block in my car it had 56% rear with 10 gallons of fuel. It was tighter on corner entry and need more rear brake bias. Then you had to pick up the throttle early to transfer weight to the rear and stop the pendulum effect caused by the high rear %. The high rear % had better forward drive off the corner though.

With the iron small block it has 53% rear, gets in and through the middle easier but has less drive off. Its easier to drive but not as fun.

You can't change front/rear and left/right % by adjusting coilovers. You have to move/add weight to do that.

Coilover adjustments can affect corner %, but they can't move the center of gravity.
