Running more than one degree of camber will be hard on the tires and nowhere near optimum for grip.
19psi would be a good starting point if you were going on track. I think a good AX cold starting pressure is 22-24 and check it after each run. I'm sure the sweet spot is a little different than for the cantilevered slicks but probably similar. The car doesn't weigh much so the pressures shouldn't be very high for such a wide tire. I don't ever get much over 26psi in my race car tires and have nice flat temps across the surface.

Well I plan to keep good records. and will report results so URY914 can make the most out of his 1st event on the same tire.

Thanks Chris I am leaning towards your recommendations. Too late in the day to do much about it. But only plan on doing 2 runs with the tires anyway. Should get a good feel for what is needed. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif)

Yup Pretty cool looking wheels. even the welded up one. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)
Put silicone on all the center seams and still have one that wants to leak. and it's not coming from the bead either.
