When I was running ladder bar set up I never scaled car but it was pulling big wheelies and I had to add some preload / move weight to right rear. Once I go it right it would go nice and straight wheels up.
My guess as your car is if it is pulling wheelies it will go to the right - add some preload to right rear until it goes straight then scale car and keep that as your baseline.

The car will probably be just fine as is if front wheels stay on the ground. Wheels up car will tell you what it needs.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

Doesn't look bad honestly. I agree that I would run that and see what it tells you. I have never had a ladder bar car to mess with though. My four link car isn't quite as balanced as that looks like and goes straight with the wheels in the air.
