Default Drift C6 z06-more steering angle, HOW?

Hi at all, I have a C6 Z06, that now I use almost only to drift...

Now I’ve modified my car with:
-rollbar from pfadt
-pfadt coilovers and swaybars
-recaro seats with 6 points belts
-special bushings from pfadt
-callaway coilover
-vararam and ecu(modified with a switch for drifting)
-hydraulic handbrake
-akrapovic exhaust
-short shifter

Now, what I want to do is to have more steering angle, some like the corvette in the link I put here:

http://www.speedhunters.com/2011/02/...tte_drift_car/

As you can see in the 4th picture this steering angle is exactly what I want!
I tried to write to the 808 but I got no response...

Any suggestion if is available or if there is some product that is already ready to sell and mount?

Ah, this are some pics of my car)

I can't help you with the steering issue, just wanted to say Don't Scratch It Please. Haha Good luck with it man. BTW, what tires will you be running for drifting? Size?

There used to be a Drift Team that posted on the mods they did to a C6 to increase steering angle. They had a vendor relationship with LG Motorsports so you might be able to find out who they are by contacting LG. I haven't seen a post by them in over a year. I tried to do a search but there is just too many uses of the word drift in the C6 and Autocrossing forums.
