I have a FWD car, only can have 1 inch RF wheel tip, car gets into the corner pretty well, however pushs really bad out of the corner. Any Ideas?

I think you mean 1 degree of RF wheel tip [negative camber]? Pretty much all FWD cars are designd with a built-in push. Some things you can do to overcome this are:

1. Raise RR tire pressure.
2. Put a narrower tire on the RR.
3. Put a rear sway bar on it.
4. If the battery is located on the right side, relocate it to the left.

What have you tried so far?

I found that tire pressure really helped me in my Honda, Also try a front bar from  tower to tower. As blownb310 said also try those ideas, weight can make a difference when placed properly.
