On my 2000 Camaro I have them set at 6 up front. But your settings will be different as the vette weights less and the front end wont come crashing down.

I would try 4 or so at first and see how you like it. You will have to play with the settings for awhile until you find the right setting for you.

I have the dual adjustable front and rears. I am still playing with them. I did some research and I believe for drag racing the fronts should be set very low since you want the front to lift. Yours are single adjustable so I believe something around 3 is what I recall most of the people saying. Try a search in the drag racing section also.l

For drag racing I ran 2 or 3 in front and 8 in back. Since you can not adjust back I would try setting the fronts at 3. If you have no stability problems try setting them at 2. As far as side to side differences I would not bother unless you disconnect the sway bar.
