How much rake? Weight distribution question

Last I weighed my car I split the wheel hubs in half and pulled onto the scale front then rear. I was 57/43. So clearly, gutting will increase the front

Last I weighed my car I split the wheel hubs in half and pulled onto the scale front then rear. I was 57/43. So clearly, gutting will increase the front unless you pull A/C, ABS etc. I've done all the aero now but of course $2000hr isn't in the budget although very close to me for a wind tunnel. I have no clue about moving weight around but in my head it seems like a double edge sword from the vid below. Rake my help me with aero but I'm so crazy on oversteer it'll probably only make it worse. So what's better? Aero with no front lift? Or make oversteer worse? Idk. Food for thought.
