You could also try:
Heavier diff oil front and centre (a lot of the setups on astro in uk are using 300k in the centre and either 10k or 15k up front. Kit setup is 10-100-10).
Shocks mounted Outer hole on front and rear wishbones.
Limit droop; some of Rich Lowes latest setups have 5-6mm of limiting spacers
Reduce front tyre (in your slicks+additive setup, try reducing additive on front?)
Looking forward to your feedback!

I tried all of these things and gains were minimal to nil. Harder springs, less droop, outside hole of rear arm, trimmed min pin fronts, 15k / 100k / 7k etc. I didn't get chance to try 300k centre, which I thought might have been a main issue. But then I see Ty running 50k. This car is a bit of a mystery on astro / carpet I feel! Perhaps unsurprising given that none of its development (to my knowledge) was on anything other than dirt / clay.
