Anyone notice that the back side of the belt rubs along the bottom belt cover quiet a bit? There's really no way to pick it up without maybe using the 19t drives.
Wonder if a belt dressing lube would help reduce friction?

This is not correct.
A bladder shock will have more pack than an emulsion shock, with the same oil and same piston...but thats because the oil doesn't become an emulsified froth in a bladder shock. When the air and oil mix it becomes "lighter" in viscosity. While going lighter in oil increases traction and decreases pack, it does so equally in both style shocks, just far more consistently in a bladder shock as there's no way to correctly gauge the amount of air is actually in your emulsion build, and there's also no changing from start to finish as the oil and air are in different stages of emulsion.
Having a bladder allows you to build your shocks with more, and more consistent rebound. Faster rebound creates more traction as it keeps your tire on the racing surface. It also keeps your shocks consistent from start to finish of a race, as the air and oil never mix.
IMO, there is little, if any, reason to ever do an emulsion build over a bladder build.

Sorry to correct you ..
The reason bladders have more pack is not due how much air gets mix with the oil ..
When the piston push's up against the bladder that makes more pack .
The piston must stretch the bladder a little to be able to move up inside the shock body....
Remove the bladder and the piston does not have to fight to go up and thus more traction & less pack...
The rebound for the shock can be set the same for both , thus no difference in performance between the two in regards to rebound...

No wrong, The overdrive pulley is designed for loose tracks. It is designed to pull your truck out of the corner with the front tires. The sensitivity of your steering in the front is going to be controlled by the weight of your diff fluid. The lighter the fluid the more sensitive your steering is going to be.
I ran both the normal and overdrive this last weekend at our very dry local track. It did help to have the overdrive in to keep the truck strait coming out of corners and going down the straits.

I said more reactive & more steering..
With the overdrive it pulls more when on power & steer's more coming out of the turn .
The reason I don't recommend the 19T for outdoor is you never really need more steering when outdoors due to bigger turns &
less traction compared to a small indoor track...

I'd wait for the 1258..little extra torque never hurts..
