Based on the numbers from [MENTION=418438]TimothyH[/MENTION], the OP currently has a high-trail fork (78 mm). That would provide quick but twitchy handling, like on a criterium bike.
The 43 mm rake fork would get the OP to 61 mm of trail, which is in the mid-trail realm. It should provide more neutral handling.
The OP would need to use a highly-raked fork in order to get into the low-trail realm (~<45 mm).
