Hive mind, is there a simple enough rule of thumb when in increasing the fork ATC the effect on the head angle?

My Dart will squeeze a 35c on the back so i'm considering getting a touring/cross fork for the front so i can play on gravel/mud.

Alternatively what's the gappiest tapered road fork around 370 ATC that isn't Whiskey money?

You can use a longer fork like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/HYLIX-1-1-8-700-32-Disk-Brake-Rigid-Carbon-Fork-420g-12-100-Thru-Axle-Flat-Mount/201578020770?_trkparms=aid%3D1110012%26algo%3DSPLICE.SOIPOST%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20201210111451%26meid%3D3d07f58c2ea843c5ab355d9c7c09ac12%26pid%3D101196%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D203126511367%26itm%3D201578020770%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DPromotedSellersOtherItemsV2WithMLRv3%26brand%3DHylix&_trksid=p2047675.c101196.m2219 and change the lower part of the headset to a semi integrated one in this way you would have the same head angle and bottom bracket height

Yeah i was thinking of swapping it to SI as it's part of the pic n mix range. Pulls back about 8mm so would get the Hylix down to about 372. Seems like a lot of faff for a 32c though, my current Columbus fork (367) clears a 30c G one. Pacer fork would work but i really want straight blades.
