Not trying to get too specific. Every car is different and everyone will like different settings. I would say ball park it at 2 clicks from loose, record what the car does and adjust based on needs.

Too bad it is not a rental day, you would probably be able to really get a car dialed in with getting multiple runs, even if it be 330 foot hits.

My M6 car which does not have a 2-step (yet), I gotta play with my QA1's a bit, we have a good idea on the ball park but since I run a drag bar I may/should not have to stagger them, the rears definitly need to be harder, Fronts may start out between Zero to 3. Gotta get my butt up to the track.
