I'm not the best tuner, but I dropped my accel on this track for that same reason.  My tune is a bit different than Laguna.

At Long Beach, the track limits are indicated by the RED line on the pavement.  As TORA Corner Cutting rules state, you must keep two wheels on the racing surface inside the track limit line at all times.  As Long Beach is an unusual circuit, the track limits are a bit strange.  

When coming up to the first corner, drivers must stay to the left of the red line. You can still have to wheels over that red line, but NO MORE than that.  Be sure to stay off the inside rumble strip when going through this corner as well (what is shown is wrong).  










When going through the round-about (Turn 2-3), while you can still keep two wheels on the track, do not go up on angled part of the kerbing.  Anything beyond the example below will be seen as corner cutting. 





For Turn 4, be sure to once again stay off the inside kerbing.




For Turn 5, do not turn into the corner until that you go past all of the "twinkies."  The first image shows the incorrect line while the second image shows the correct one. 





For Turn 6, Tecate Turn, be sure to once again stay off the inside kerbing.   Anything beyond the example below will be seen as corner cutting.



For Turn 7, which is actually considered a turn for some reason, when you are going down towards Pine Avenue make sure that you are staying to the left of the red line (what is shown is wrong).  



For Turn 8, be sure to once again stay off the inside kerbing.  Anything beyond the example below will be seen as corner cutting.  When in doubt for this corner, make sure to stay off the bumps that I have circled in the image.



For Turn 9, Firestone, be sure to once again stay off the inside kerbing.  Anything beyond the example below will be seen as corner cutting.



For Turn 10, Indy Left, much like Turn 8, be sure to once again stay off the inside kerbing.  Anything beyond the example below will be seen as corner cutting.



For Turn 11, the hairpin, while it is actually impossible to cut the hairpin, make sure you are not doing what I show in the photo below.  




For pitting, please make sure that you call you pit-ins so that everyone that around you knows since the pit entrance is a bit dangerous.  When exiting pits, follow the yellow line on the right side of the road until it curves back into the track as I've shown in the image below.

This is what I was looking for, I knew I'd seen it somewhere before. Now everyone can use this as a reference, thank you Ben for doing this earlier in the year

These rules definitely slow the pace up. You can do mid-high 30s based on Forza track limits at least, 31s will be normal pace unless that Scion can use straightline speed to overcome its cornering issues.
