Running a 9.5 with a bit of boost -- just enough to clear our triple consistently. No drag brake.

With the weight and these tires the car is very easy to drive and stable but I would like just a tad more rotation through the tight turns -- it's a bit pushy, for the first time ever. When I had no weight in the rear it over rotated.

Should I take a bit of weight back out? Looking for a subtle change that will not disturb the rest of the handling, which I find to be just about perfect.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Add a washer to the rear inside camber link. This will transition a little traction from low speed corner entry to on power corner exit. If that is too much of a change, you may consider going down to 30 weight oil in the rear if it isn't prohibitively thin for the big jumps.
