Shoot for around 36 psi hot. I used them for several HPDE and 36 worked well.

29 front and 28 rear was an average, but depends on outside temps

I like 32 psi hot. I start off about 26 psi.

The best way to check for optimum pressure is to get an average of inner and outer temperatures. That number should be close to what your center temp is.

If the center is 20 degrees higher then you have too much pressure.
