I'm still playing around with the shocks myself, but I use 3 holes and 40wt for a bumpy track with 14lb/in springs. Diffs I understand a bit more. I'd try the 300k oil in the front diff, and depending on preference, 1000-2000 in the rear. This should give you enough steering into the infield, and still pull through the sweepers. The principle is the more locked your front diff is, the more on power steering you have, as the inside wheel spins faster then the outside and drags the car inwards across the track. It does reduce your intial turn in, but I use less rear toe to counter this, and add some front toe out. I use a looser diff in the rear to keep the back of the car under control coming out of a slower corner (because of the rear toe), this is a feel thing though, and chassis dependant because every car is a bit different.

The car was still a little unbalanced on off power turn in (it wanted to spin, but only just) so I layed my rear dampers down by one hole, and that fixed it.

Hope this helps.
