You want it just tight enough to not slip under full power from a dead stop. Generally you just do this by hand and ensure the spur won't slip easily. Breaking in the diff will give it more grab...

In my testing on high grip black carpet, and keep in mind I drive a spool in 17.5 foam on the same track, the ball diff was faster in GT12-R. With all the tight corners, you scrub so much speed off...
