Currently I have bent 90s at +5 from center and don’t love the way they feel. Would it be worth it to make it a dedicated park ski and mount at something like +2? How would that effect its performance outside the park and are bents even worth using in the park?

Did you mean +5 from recommended? Or do you actually have them at +5 from center?

Those would be -5 from center then, + 5 would be absolutely stupid feeling ski. Moving the mount point forward will make them feel less stable all mountain, but better for park. Really good park ski from what ive heard. Chris bentchetler rides his at -2.5 from true center for park skiing, so would be +4.5 of rec line, but if you're worried go +2 or 3 forward and will feel better.
