Depends on your tires and somewhat on your suspension.

Trial and error is the only way. You'll hook up better on a track than on a street too which will change things.

you have to go out on a street and get a feel for it. once you have just a little slippage on a street, that will probably be good enough for no slippage on the track. like cheap said, its all trial and error
