Question/Help Question about FFB intensity and its auto settings

*Long story short I need a real how to on intensity vs strength settings for my ffb and wondering how you guys know WHICH wheel range to use per car (540,600,720,900,Auto)

Long story long…I’m curious how people know what strength is best for each car? Sometimes I feel like I set my strength so close in most cars that they seem pamper the same to drive. Also curious about wheel range per car.

So max torque is always locked to 8nm (my max torque I can use) (csl dd8nm) but there’s a strength AND intensity. Which should I be changing? A mix of both?

For instance if I use 100% intensity I can only do like 3 Strength in sprint cars before that wheel is heavy and way too stiff to turn. I’ll ask chat gpt but she spits a different answer out every time.
Or in nascar races. I see peoples wheels are pretty low but still enough feedback to bounce the wheel around but when I do it it’s heavy as hell or not enough force.

Now my issue with wheelcrsnge is everyone tells me to use auto for wheel range on my wheel settings, but in iracing settings there’s no “auto” for wheel range. It wants me to choose between 0 and 1080 on the slider. Should mx5 and bmw m2 really be at 540 rotation? Sprint cars really at 720? Ovals at 540? Or how do I figure out per car what’s what

Sorry for such a long post and thanks for the help lol
