Default FX3 shocks

What setting are you guys with the FX3 system using at the strip. Touring, sport, or performance? Thanks in advance, 84 CF 91 ZR1

I've tried messing with the different settings and it never seemed to make much of a difference. I do notice that my front end seems to rise a bit more on the launch when in the "touring" setting. I guess that could mean better weight transfer. I tend to keep it there when at the track, but I really don't think it makes much difference.

Thanks Tom, thats kinda what I figured. Touring does seem to give you the most shock travel and weight transfer. We've got two days of test and tune coming up at the end of April before the season starts so I can check it out. I'm trying hard to become a reformed street racer and do things legally now. On the street at a 30 or 40 mph start the sport setting seemed to work fine. Again thanks, 84 CF 91 ZR1
