Upgrading drag

I've got a shimano Calais and Chronarch 100B...the max drag on both are a joke with the Calais being absolutely laughable. Is there any way to realistically ad 2-3 lbs of drag to these reels? Been thinking about switching to the carbon tex washers for better max drag. Anyone have any experience with these?

Replacing the drag washer(s) will add about 20% more drag.
