Default 12bolts, what handling mods?

Ok, who here has a 12bolt? Anyone of you feel as though you sacrificed some handling ability once you put it in? I feel as though I have, and I want some of it back. The rearend wants to "push" a bit more, yet its harder to get it sideways. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> Go figure. Anyways, what have you guys done to improve your handling?

I ran with a KTRE for a while and it did push a little more. Its because of the diff setup in there and at one time there was nittos in the back and F1's in the front. Imagine how much push that had <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

All you need to do is throttle steer. Start your turn in, hold the wheel and give it more or less gas depending on how much steering correction you need to hit the apex and track out. So if your going to run over the apex, give it some gas and the front will push out. Be easy with the throttle though <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Describe what the car is doing, and I can tell you what to change. The FRONT pushes, not the rear. If you are saying that turn-in nimbleness is lost, then the car is understeering, or like you said, "pushing". just need a little clarifying as to what the car is doing.
