That's what we did, we put down 4hrs, got a 6am start time, all of us got round the route in under 5hrs with no stop starting.
The first 60km was frantic though. Several instances of sketchy line taking, panic braking and all sorts
(including a drunk bloke walking the wrong way down the A12 at 6:10am nearly walking into the group)

Sound advice. I was off in a 6:40 wave but then waited for half an hour just after the Limehouse Tunnel for my mate who was on a later wave. Meant by the time we got to the Pyrford/Ripley bit we were held up for at least an hour by the crash.

I think if you're really bothered about doing a decent time, put a fast time down when entering (faster than you think you can do) and you should get an early start (6am something) and likely miss the problems that arise when the masses get going.
If you're happy to chill out and enjoy the ride, possibly with some hold ups and the chance of a diversion, put a slow time down on the form and enjoy the comparative lie-in of a 9am start, but don't moan when you have to wait because someone ahead really needs assistance.
