Personally, id say low compression for track, and if you want a really drivable street weapon, then high.

my first RST was standard compression... now its 7.6:1 big of a blag on the road sometimes because as lewis say you get a lot of wheelspin
but on track i 'imagine' it would be better than high as you will be on boost almost all the time!
