how much more can you go? maybe 6 3/4 ? pin on track? 6 is very close to be on track depends on your pap too but for me that drilling I can use on fried lanes

Here is the thing.  The longer you go with the pin, the more you are storing energy.  More stored energy = more aggressive backend reaction.  If you want to soften up the backend, drill the pin closer to your PAP such as a 3 x 5.  Putting the pin closer to your axis gets the ball rolling quicker which releases energy earlier, and therefore softens up the backend or making it "archy". A 6 x 4 type drilling with alot of hand as you put it, I think is going to create too much length and flip especially on clean backends.
