I suppose I should add that after being one of the biggest fans of the pedal dance, I have actually quit using it for autocross. I still try it now and then but I've gotten too used to (or good at?) letting the EBD sort it out for me, and the dance inevitably results in the ABS freaking out anytime I dive into a corner on the brakes (BIG front sway bar, stock springs).
I'm sure I could tweak my driving style to make it work but it's hard to justify that when I'm getting good results. On a road course with higher speed turns it would be a different story.

I've been able to get that braking sensation, too, and some other unpleasant things. The ability to change direction while slowing down big was...not good enough. Plow into a corner in a rather unsatisfying fashion, often with the brakes in full freak-out, and then once I actually got the car turned pick up the inside rear and get a taste for how aggressive the e-lsd is when it kicks in. Sure, it kept me from the drift trophy, but it clamped down hard. Avoiding the e-lsd - although the system sounds good on paper - is the primary purpose for the dance for me.
But the pedal dance didn't really do anything about trail-braking or turn-in. What I did (and might be helpful for you) was take my front swaybar to it's softer setting (whiteline 20). The difference was fairly profound. Particularly in street class autocross, I'm not so sure you need an especially big front bar on these. IMO, YMMV, etc.
