Typical roll numbers can be between .220 and .260 depending on class ,horsepower ,chassis setup, and launch rpm.
My own car has a rollout of around .230 . and I typically need between .030 .040 delay.
Once you have a data base of actual track runs to compare to practice tree runs you can fine tune the roll settings .
If you are using it with the full size tree , Allison Doll recently posted about the Portatree ,or any practice tree , that you should try to position the tree to be as far away as the actual track tree to get a more realistic reaction to the lights.
I think in D5 the quick tree is only at National Events, the standard .400 and .500 tree is still used at Divisional and Regional? Can anyone confirm?
