So for me it will be 7.5 on carpet and astro, and boosted 10.5 on low grip conditions
My comparison of the Ballistic 10.5 with 30 degrees of dynamic timing boost to the 7.5 without supports this (limited as it is with massive guesstimaton!); similar top end, with the mod motor giving more mid-range.

I'm wondering if dialing in positive expo on the throttle would 'flatten' the curve and give more punch?
