What works for someone else wont necessarily work for you. Too many factors to consider when asking that question like what suspension, tires, weight, transmission, traction bars, etc etc.... Even the track and conditions will alter your track prep. Only way to find out is go out and try it. Test difference settings, datalog, review and make adjustments. If it were that easy everyone would own a 10 sec car. I know you want a starting point but that's just my 2 cents.

It keeps the big stress off of the engine this way.
