Please can someone tell me the effect of steering feel by caster change?

Ie does LOTS of caster make steering feel heavier or light? stable or twitchy?

I think adding caster will make the steering heavier and duller? Which is what I'm after.

Adding caster will make the steering want to self center. This can feel heavier. It also aids in turn in and makes the steering more stable at higher speeds without adding toe in.
I run about +8.7 degrees of caster.

"heavier" and "duller" are not words I necessarily use, but more castor will increase the steering effort, and increase straight line stability. It will make the car want to self-center, so it will be less "twitchy" going straight, but possibly more "twitchy" in the turns.

It also increases the amount of camber gain you get on the outside tire when you turn, so more castor gives more camber in the turns

Try going to 0.060" toe out! We all have different driving "feels"!
