I have my diff set to 1/2 lift on the slipper setting, any tighter slipper and the diff will bark. So I might tighten it a little. I started running it really light with the v2 shocks to get more steering in the corners. But the BB shock have introduced a lot of steering themselves, so I might tighten her a little. I still dont have the consistence I did with the v2 shocks. Mostly because my rear seems loose. I tried a few different tires, but that is not really fixing it. I think I am diffing out a little come out of the corners or when the track is a little looser.
Assuming you do not want to change springs, I recently had this exact same issue and there are two definite ways to solve it. First, you can try raising your rear roll center by removing a ball stud washer. Second, you can try adding a limiter to the front shocks. Since I run green springs in the rear, I have standardized on running 3 limiters in the front shocks, otherwise I'm fighting having a roll center that is high enough for good on power corner exit while having one that is low enough for ideal infield traction. The 3 limiters in the front (vs 2) limits how much weight is transferred to the rear of the car and allows you to run a lower rear roll center without the dire effects of it roll over on you as you accelerate out of a corner hard.
Another thing to double check is that your shock eyelets are screwed in all the way and you are running 2 limiters in the rear. Measure with a digital caliper. Your exposed shaft length should be very close to the big bore shaft stroke length minus the limiters you use. If its off by anything significant, you may have an issue.
