I believe about 1000-1100 is optimal (or certainly what I aim for). More than that and you will find you go long into corners due to the brakes overheating, same if they are cold, they just won't stop the car as well.
What you can do is flick between bonnet and in car cam and check the engine temps. You ideally don't want it to be above 100, but you will get away with the temps going up to 140-150 before it blows, but I'm certain you drop power, as I've been racing a friend and was losing time each lap, but hitting every apex and braking point, yet still missing my fastest time by a long way.
I think I run 50% radiator and 52% brakes in the Aston. Also you will find lowering the camber helpful, as I have found the car better running -1.3 F and -0.2 R.
The thing with tuning is not so much knowing exactly what does what, it is a case of (certainly for me) changing one thing and seeing if it makes the car behave more like I would want, if not it gets changed back and I try something else. Sometimes drunk Skaankypuppy comes along and changes many things and messes up the set up when I next drive it lol.
