Whilst I agree with Craig I think for different reasons. As with many of our setup changes on model cars, what we change actually effects more than 1 thing, sometimes for the effect we want, sometimes not, sometimes the effects work together sometimes they balance out, sometimes one effect is more at high speed/grip whilst the other low speed/grip.
Anyway, on a 'real' car when they talk about short wheelbase, they are usually chopping the middle out of the chassis and the short wheelbase car will turn like a mother (Group B rally cars). We do it just by moving the hubs at the rear which as we know has an effect of moving the weight distribution over the rear wheels.
Anyway, off power I think that shortening the wheelbase certainly car aid steering (as a 'real' car) but as we apply it on power it can add traction. Both things you appear to want?
Lastly on low grip you can often get more grip but running a stiffer car (oil wise anyway) I think, becasue by softening the weight transfers quicker (harder?) and overlaods the outer tyre and you lose grip. The harder car will share the grip between all 4 tyres thus feeling like more overall.
What you really want in here is Cree.............................................. ....?
