Josh,

I am not one to give to much advice on drilling...I leave that up to my driller since he knows my game and abilities.  

If you want some ball park advice....here is how mine is drilled.  Pin over bridge and CG stacked directly below in mid grip so for my PAP of 4 7/8" over and 0.....that makes it a 5" pin to PAP which is relatively weak for a ball that with a 4" pin to PAP gets 3" to 4" of flare.  I am medium speed 17-18 off my hand 14.5 - 15 at pin deck.  325 revs or thereabouts.  45 deg. axis rotation normally.  

Since, the SS is a slid flip ball you have to factor in what lane conditions you are going to use it for and your technique and how you want to play the lanes.  What works for one may not work for another.  I use my SS for when the heads break down and I can move in and get a better angle for carry.  If, I move in to deep with the way I have my SS I start leaving corners.  IMO.....a G-3 or something of that strength with a pin up drilling and an X hole on your gradient line maybe P2 would be a better ball for me when I get really deep.....would carry better for me.  But, also I have to change my release to be able to use a ball like the G-3 with a strength drilling deep inside.

YMMV but I'd be working with your driller on getting it set up correctly.
