You could consider pulling the front splitter entirely?
If I have extra time I will do multiple controlled tests, changing one factor at a time and seeing the difference. Now I just need to look up removal instructions for the front splitter.

Super simple. Remove two screws - one at each end - and then pull on it. There are a bunch of plastic tabs that will pop out one by one across the front of the car. And I guarantee that driving w/o the splitter will be noticeable in terms of handling.

Edit: I have a spare one sitting here in my office if you need pictures of it before you start pulling on it.

His best time was 1:25.3 in a GT4 Clubsport.
Burt is the man at AMP and 135 is about as high as you are likely to hit on the front straight in a stock GT3. Here's a 1.27 in my 2015 GT3 and I was only hitting 130.
