Default Initial shock setting advice needed

Car info: 3700# with driver, 325 DR, LQ9 made 510 NA and 685 on spray, 4000 stall, no transbrake, no progressive, Midwest FAB9, Midwest TA, Midwest PHB, Midwest LCAs (lowest hole), BMR extreme drag bar.

So-So track prep.

SA QA1s up front and DA AFCOs rear.

Recommendations would be appreciated.

Also, how would setting change if I went to a bias-ply tire like an ET Street?

I run slicks and generally put the Hal shocks on following settings:

Driver's Front 0 Passenger F 0
DR 7 PR 9

Each car is different and requires trial and error to find best settings. If you put it on the lowest setting in the front and car rises too much-raise the settings until it barely comes off the ground.
