I used to do the same thing leaving my shocks on.
I would start the heats with 1/2 fuel / a 3" on the LR, and 3" on the RR.
When the track slicked off I would run full fuel and a 2" on LR with a 1" spacer or a 4" on the RR.
You can always move the LU bar up on the chassis and the RU down as well.
Also drop the rear stagger to 0 when it gets slick.
It all depends on what your car needs in the end.

When it's tacky, try a 3" RF wheel and 2" LF and then switch them when it turns slick. Also, you could try a little more rear stagger when tacky, then take it out when slick.

The easiest thing to do would be 3 wheel brakes in the tacky, 4 wheel in the slick rear to front or until the car comes to you.

At first I would do both. Make notes of the difference in the #'s with you in the car verses out. After that you should have a good idea where you should be. P.S. unhook your shocks...
