Land faster and/or move the C.G. forward.
It is not unusual for an Extra to drop the nose on a stall, it is not a "trainer" after all.
How is moving the CG even farther forward going to help? He already said he was further forward then the instructions called for ( Manufacturers are usually forward to befing with ). That will make his situation even worse!
Like I stated before, flying without the cowl messes things up, put it back on. Post some pictures and I will find at least a dozen things to do to reduce weight.
