Besides, my opinion is 180 with 16th note is enough speed (12 notes per second). Any more faster is pointless. Most of the fast solos you hear are about 150-ish speed with 16th note anyway. Just make sure 180 is doable though so 150 is comfortable to do, although trying to go >200 probably is not very good for your health since your right hand is doing so much repetitive motion over and over again for hours of practising.

I have to say that using 4 clicks per beat helps in making the picking hand learn to pick regularly. Although it does become quite useless if the bpm is set >170. By this point the right hand should develop a rhythm so that it doesn't need the clicks anymore to maintain the beat.
