The key was playing with the shim height at the center bell crank. +3 to +4mm of shim along with the optional longer ball stud (#330179) are key to controlling the car on corner exit. Higher causes the car to continue turning on exit. Lower causes the car to push more on exit.
I raced with Joe back in the day. Had many great battles with him and happy to see him progress as far as he has. Thanks for the advice.
