Adding weight, but don't want a big wheelie....

If short shifting doesn't help, pull some timing out of it. Guys in Stock and Super Stock do it all the time, to 'position' themselves in qualifying to draw a more favorable opponent in first round.
True, I could pull timing and get it there. I'm currently at 34°, setting at 30-31° would probably do it (along with the spot drop)....only problem is I don't have any practice time between now and the race next weekend, so I would only have my 2 qualifying passes to get it right. Definitely doable in a pinch.
