The main purpose of the slipper is to help get traction on acceleration. If you make the slipper too lose you will hear it whine under acceleration. If it's too tight, the rear will have trouble gaining traction under acceleration. Experiment with it a bit and do what feels right to you.

Ask one of the faster guys at the track to take a look at it when you're there - they usually adjust it by sound or feel...

I can't tell you how far to tighten the nut, but you should set it so that it slips for about 2-3 feet. You will know it's slipping by the sound it makes. If you hit the gas the teh rear wheels spin with no traction, then you might want to loosen it a little.
