I think when I get my new clubs that I'm going to try tuning my right foot towards the target slightly. It will tighten my hip and oblique muscles even more in the coil and will get me to push off the right side more rather than trying to pull with my left to get the hips cleared and weight shifted forward. Has anyone tried this with any success or other results?

Your desire to change has to be greater than your desire to stay the same.

That sounds like it hurts...lol. But no, i dont do that. Both my feet are slightly flared open at address. I like to stay loose and free.

I keep my back foot square to the target.

I'm a big guy, but my back and hips are quite flexible. Of course by toward target I also only mean toe in about 10*. It sets my weight up onto the inside of my foot, slightly toward the ball of the foot, which (in just messing around with weight shift at home), seems to make me fire off of that foot, rather than what I've been doing of turning my left knee out at the end of the back swing and pulling my hips forward with my left foot.

Turning the right foot in will restrict a good hip turn, so I would recomment against it. I'd say keep the feet however they want to stand naturally. Don't rotate them either way. This will put them angled out slightly. Restricting hip turn will probably cause more spinning out of the shot than help getting the weight forward. There are other ways to work on those things.
