I was planning on going back to the 3 gear when we move inside this winter on to carpet.

The track I will be running at can be pretty dry and slick coming out of some corners, so from what I have read about the 4 gear, it should help with rear traction. Is that not the case?

I run a 4 gear with cut gears and lightened shaft and slipper elim on my Serpent and I have ridiculous acceleration too with the benefit of the weight transfer.
I think the 3 gear thing is mostly hype and the newest fad, most will go back to 4 gear eventually. 3 gear is for higher grip so it would work great on carpet with a gear diff and slipper elim.

Not having actually raced this TP motor and only spending time doing practices, I settled on a final ratio quite a bit lower than you did. With your gearing you ended up at 6.455, running mine at 33\69 puts me at 5.436. If I stick to five minute intervals and timing on the end can turned almost all the way down, I am temping the TP 17.5 at around 145, pretty safe temp range from what I can gather.
I would be curious to see how your buggy handles a lower ratio and if you can see improved lap times or not. Since I am gearing to use the torque this motor provides, I found that adding timing brought on more heat with less ability to swing the lower gear ratio with out any added acceleration. Since the track is being reset this week, this might all be a moot point if it is a more open and flowing track come this weekend

I used to run tall gearing and low timing but found out I was faster gearing down and adding timing.

B5 diff
I have a few b5 3 gear diffs. On one of them I can't get the diff screw tight enough so that the one tire spins one revolution or less. After it bottoms out and feels normal I spin one wheel and it spins much more then the other two cars. I pulled it out and put in a all new diff, new screw, spring and thrust and have same issue. It feels fine on the track but does not put me in my happy place when it is on the bench and I spin it and then spin the others. I cant spin one tire when holding spur and other tire so that tells me it is fine....is it just a free spinning car and let it be or should I look at anything else.

All you can do is compare that all the new parts you just rebuilt the diff with are of the same exact size and length as the ones they replaced. No other parts replaced at the same time? Out drives or the washers that go on them are same parts or at least the same measurements? Did the diff get broken in all the way and the balls are not just sliding on the polished rings? Did you replace everything on the thrust bearing side and not leave something out?
About all I can think of..

Still having a lot of pushing, this thing is a plow.
off power steering is awful, had no mid to exit steering. only had time to mush front shocks a little and battery, it got a little better but not where I need it to be.
I threw down my Serpent and it's worlds of a difference.
Really need help guys.
Thinking the aluminum or brass front bulkhead is needed.

Verify all components are installed correctly.
Beyond that check the rest of the drive train focusing on all the bearings first, then your cvd.
