About Damper Grease:

You can go too heavy. I don't know any top Mod drivers that run anything a thick As Trinity Purple stuff anywhere on thier cars at 99% of the tracks.

McMahon is one of the fastest 1/12th drivers on carpet and he always runs red stuff in his damper tubes everywhere he goes.

Remember...if you car is sliding anywhere you are scrubbing speed. Get your car stuck down so it just about traction rolls then drive it smooth so it wont traction roll. Some guys think making your car free (not so stuck) makes you fast. This is not the case...you have to drive a stuck car smoothly so you don't scrub speed to be fast.
Not having done this in about 5 years, is there any feel I should want the car to have when it's in my hands?
