Hi Dan,
Your right about the dampers .. if you lay down the rear a little more you get more steering.
When do you need more steering ? Going in/out or mid corner og all the way around ?

Its mostly getting the front end into the corner where I'm struggling. Originally I thought that when you dropped the front shcoks down it would give more steering (effectively softening the springs I believe), but obviously I was proved wrong

Don't know the caster blocks on the Triox but you should try the 3 deg blocks in front and maybe the 3 deg rear toe hubs to as they will give less gripp in the rear = more front grip
And as TC3 writes .. lighter oil in front.

Going in you also migt want to go 0,5mm lower rideheight in front than in the rear, this will move the weight to the front of the car and give more steering.

Anyone have more pics of the Cuda's running at the Worlds!!!! Tires of seeing the same old cars getting in the pics. They do have a nice one of the Cuda with the body on going around the track.
