Yes, 50% for a car that turns both right and left. Obviously if you're on a track and only making left turns, then what you dial in is going to be different. There are a number of handy little calculators on the net that will help you, like: Corner Balance Calculator And you're never going to get everything absolutely perfect, and keep it that way, since your gas tank level will change, stuff you keep in your car will change, you might have a passenger, you might have just eaten a big Thanksgiving dinner, etc.

EDIT -- In case you're wondering my left cross is 50.09% and my right cross is 49.91%, with me in the car, and a half tank of gas.
