if anything, you will appreciate the extra feel and force feedback. I'm using 330mm wheel with +8 caster without a noticable increase in effort at all.

Still in Prod, new clutch (OEM) with CT Flywheel. I think I may have to take out my intake to stay under the limit at least until the rollbar comes in.

In addition to above, I'd soften front compression and rebound, and set rear toe-in to 1/8" - 1/4" total (Is the .35 you stated in inches? If so, it's too much.). If that doesn't work enough, I'd also consider going back to the stock front bar instead of the Comptech (I did).
At Grattan this past weekend I went out in the first session and had a horrible push as well. Softening up the rebound and compression in the front as well as moving tire pressure to try to give the front more grip worked for me. Granted, I'm running a T2 car with stock springs...

Update.

I ran the 02 OEM front bar and no rear bar. It was good, turn in is way better at corner entry with just a hit of squeal at the front, w/o the rear bar I could get on the throttle much sooner and didnt have any wheel spin.

There is a bit more body roll, I didnt feel it much, but halfway through the 2 lap of the first session, I blew a huge cloud of smoke (I thought I blew the engine)
After fabricating a catch can from some fuel line and a water bottle I was fine.

This may be worth checking as I just noticed it on mine a few days ago:

I just bought a used s2k (4 1/2 years old). I tracked it and found it behaving badly with what seemed to be almost positive camber.

Turned out the shocks spings still had the rubber peices stuck in there for shipping. Took it out and it's more like a car than a VAN now..
