Need to soften the rear pod movement with a softer spring. This will let the rear pod 'spool up' almost like softer sedan arms when getting on power.

Tamiya soft red (florescent) spring. Not the regular red spring. Aaron and I both use pretty soft top springs and we have tons of on power grip on exit.
20-25 wt oil and 3 hole piston= less pack in the shock with lighter oils for more pod movement.

Let us know how it goes.
