Yes, 50/50. You want the shock stiff on compression to help drive the axle/tire into the ground.

Similar to how I set them up for a radial except that you typically want more instant center to drive the tires into the ground on a radial setup, not necessarily weight transfer like you do on a bias slick setup. So I set the shocks on 50/50 not only to give more compression than the other settings offered, but also to keep the extension somewhat loose, the back of the car raises up driving the rear into the ground. I change that action with adjustable arms and different bar angles.

Like TCS mentioned this method works well enough for 4000+ cars to go 1.40's and even quicker on decently prepped tracks.
