Looking to Carbonate in my Corny

Question: Irish Red Ale NBrewer Extract done as a Lager with Cali Lager WYeast - 1.044
(2 1/2 weeks in Primary - no seconday going to condition in a corney for 4 weeks

Any pointers and was lookign at 1/3 cup Corn Sugar in a pint of boiled water for the fermentation

And If I would use DME then ? 2/3 cup?

Just wondering what DME would do if anything? Any Benefit
or Stick to Force Carbonation at 35 Degrees
Thoughts?
