Default Current Setup : Carpet

After more guess and test sessions at my local carpet tracks this is where I currently sit with my setup.

I am very interested in finding out what others have found out about this car to improve it's feel on carpet.

Driving Feel:
-A little pushy and lazy on corner entry.
-Tight through center.
-As I race stock my setup is built to maintain highest mid-corner speed.

Largest Improvements (Order Of Magnatude Improvement):
Adding lots of droop improved the car everywhere.
Going from 25wt oil to 40wt oil in the front end. (drastically kills the steering).
Moving the steering bell crank to the rear most position.
Moving Shocks front to #2 and rear to #4
Shimming the front end out to the max. (reduces traction roll)
