it shouldn't need anymore weight than that, what's your setup and are you running the rear arb?

I'm assuming that you've checked that nothing is binding.

What about the diffs?

Front slightly tighter than the rear?

I was going to suggest 35 weight front and 30 weight rear oil, but I agree with col, on polish its bound to do that!

On polished wood in my 44 I've found it responds better to 35/25w oil in the front/rear with silver/green springs.

I struggled with the tail holding on sweepers till I dropped from 35/30 to 35/25, most of the guys at my local club running 44's are running light oil in the rear shocks.
