Pull caster out of it, shoot for maybe 1 degree less or as much as you can manage.

I recently pulled a bunch of caster out of my car to lighten the steering; it works as advertised. You may need to compensate with a little more static camber if you're competing with the car.

My friend's '87 always had much heavier steering than my earlier SC; a little more caster goes a long way to increasing steering weight.
