Bummer that this information is not provided on the setup sheets (split blocks or standard).
TBH, I can't tell you, as I haven't raced on carpet ever with the 7, and at all for almost 2 years now! I can only go off the high bite asphalt track here, and the car is faster with the flex than not. It isn't as easy to drive, but it is faster when you get used to it.... but asphalt grips differently to rug.
All I can suggest is to give them a try and see, although bear in mind, for full effect, you'll want to try cutting the top deck and motor mount, and removing the steering brace too... *wobbly*
