Default Ack! Need more on power steering!

Hey guys, I've finally realized that my car needs more on power steering after a few days of racing, I was just paying attention to my line and I figured my car was set-up well, it's set up good, but I think it can be better. I race on carpet with cs-27's on all 4 corners. I have way to much on power push so when I enter the corner I'm fine because I'm usually off power and than when I get on power my car gets way off the pipes so my line is like a foot and a half off the right line. Here's my set up:

Caster - 4º
Kick up - 0º
Front toe - .5º out
Rear toe - 2º in
anti squat - 2º
Camber (front/rear) - -2.5º/-2º
Ride height (front/rear) - 5mm/5mm
wheel base is adjusted to shortest position
springs (front/rear) - Red/gold
Internal shock limiters (front/rear) - 4/2 (standard set up from manuel)
Front shock on outer most hole
Rear shock mounted on middle hole
all the bottoms of the shocks are mounted in the standard position
Associated 40 weight shock oil all the way around
#2 pistons all the way around
take off tires all the way around
TQ Blue traction compound, 75% on front tires and 100% on rear tires.
differentials used in front and back
tie rod positions (front) - ball stud is mounted on lower/inner hole
tie rod positions (rear) - inner ball stud is mounted on upper/inner hole. the outer ball stud is mounted on the outer hole.

Any ideas that people have to get rid of this on power push would be very helpful. Do you think that moving up one tooth on the pinion gear would help get rid of the push by reducing the acceleration speed? I know that wouldn't be able to get rid of all the push, but does anyone think it might help? Thanks for any help.
