Different angles work for different people but generally try and get it about level between the highest points. Generally quite far forward too, as many people tend to sit quite far back on them - almost "in" the curve. I found I'd point the nose more up for a more upright touring position, and more level for normal roadie position.

My SMP is a good 4cm-ish further forward than my other saddles. The higher the nose is the more the support it will give you however also the more pressure you'll get, it's a balance. Start off with the front bump level with rear then move the nose down slightly until you find the sweat spot.
-
Also worth checking how "tall" it is compared to your old saddle. My copy is a good chunk taller from rails to seat top than the old one - necessitated bringing the seatpost down a bit.

Oh yeah, as negaatio said, you'll need to drop the seatpost too because they are generally taller saddles than others. If you find there's too much pressure on your sit bones try dropped the saddle a little more.

I've gotten a hold of a carbon smp copy, and I've check out Steve hogg's website. But, does anyone have any tips on how to set up an SMP. Anything would be awesome..
