guide spacing question

I am building my 2nd build on a Rainshadow Immortal IMMP70L spinning blank using the Fuji KR Concept with KL-H16, KL-H8, KL-M5.5, 2 KB belly guides in 4.5, 2 KT runners in 4.5 and a LG tip in 4.5 for a total of 7 guides plus the tip top. I cant decide if I need another KT running guide? During the static load test the line does not follow the contour of the rod through the top third of the rod. Is this important in a spinning application?
Thanks in advance, Rick Elrod Re: guide spacing question

I would add at least one more guide maybe two. Your blank is 7' light power with a mod F action so it has a little more bend in the tip section. The KR GPS suggests a total of 8 guides, so 7 might not be enough.
