I agree with that. Last sunday I had a race indoors (slippy wooden floor and carpet) and instead of my usual 7.5, I used a 10.5 with dynamic timing.
While top end was the same (maybe even faster with the boosted 10.5), I felt I had less low-end torque, which was good on the wooden floor but Iwas lacking a bit of grunt on the first half of the carpeted straight.

So for me it will be 7.5 on carpet and astro, and boosted 10.5 on low grip conditions
