KTM fork question

I have a 2005 KTM 525 MXC, I tried a couple of SM practice days last year and really enjoyed it.
Problem is the front forks are way to soft for this (even with heavy springs).
N0te*these are open chamber forks with really plush valving
Question- what to do?
Option 1 - Revalve for supermoto - will this be good enough?
Option 2 - Buy some closed chamber forks and revalve correctly?

Thoughts?

Thanks for your input in advanced?

I'm running 0.50 kg/mm (race tech). I just went to their site and used their calculatedd spring rates page and it says that I should have 0.57 kg/mm for supermoto. The heaviest ones they have is 0.52kg/mm.
I currently weigh 220 lbs.

Appears I need really heavy springs from somewhere else.
