Remember that the OEM understeer setup is placed in there for safety and driver comfort. Most people are more comfortable with a car that pushed and scrubs off speed on it's won vs one that is loose and has a lot more rotation. It is a learning curve, and one that well all have to do if we change anything fundemental on the car we are use to driving.

But over all a loose car will be quicker once the driver is use to it and can properly rotate it. It will mean that you will have greater slip angles and at each corner exit you will be pointed in the right direction sooner allowing you to apply more throttle sooner.

Just have fun with it and slowly increase the spped back up. And have fun with it. I find a looser car to be more fun after a while. I good friend of mine once said

"I tight car scares the driver and please the passenger, a loose car pleases the driver and scares the passenger".
