how many millimetres of kickup would you need to get 3 degress of castor?

i'm new to this, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
In my experience with the Pro 4, adding kick-up increases front traction which translates into more overall steering. Not sure how much kick-up you'll need. I'm using .5mm of kick-up and 2* castor blacks for stock racing on carpet w/ foam tires. I'm considering going to 0* castor blocks to increase on-power steering. I guess the question is: what are you trying to achieve by reaching 3* of castor? Also, your set-up info. and track conditions would help others to help you.
