Personally, I like to use dbl blues and sauce the whole tire so it stays consistent through the run. However, I do play with the sauce amount depending on the humidity that day. The more humid it is, the less I sauce because traction comes up. When it gets dry, the buildup happens more and I need that sauce to keep my steering for the whole run.

On yours, I can now see why it is so hard to drive your car. The stiff side springs and thick side tube lube is a huge factor. We run 10k in the tubes and Xray soft silver side springs. The straight ones not the coned ones. If I were you, I would change that right away. Also since it is an xray, use the long shock setup.
