Good morning to all,
This is a little advanced and requires a good working relationship with a "Good Front End Specialist" but you can stagger the left front and right front spindles about an inch (1") and that can slow up your reaction times a couple of hundreds. But remember that the alignment MUST be checked and corrected before taking the car to the track again to test your change.
Maybe try a looser setting on the front shocks allowing more front suspension travel, also remember that how the rear axel moves and hooks the car will come into play here too. Pitch rotation of the body on the suspension , if increased will allow the car to move on the suspension before moving the tires.
Just a couple of thoughts, I usually have to go the "Other Way" and tighten the car up - advanced age and lack of practice.
Good luck with your changes.

Respectfully,
