Been noticing wear on my rear tires from the centers outward.
Centers inwards look new...
Do I need more negative or positive camber?

If I were to guess I would say negative camber during a burnout.
I really don't have any experience racing with IRS honestly but I would think adjusting the camber would affect your launch/traction.
I wouldn't mess with it especially since your car is so dialed in but if you do just note your current setting so you can go back to it if the adjustments don't work.

If your tire is wearing center to outwards, you have too much positive
However, it could be too much positive toe

So that wear is from driving and not the burnout?

Set toe to 0. Increase negative camber so the tire is flat during burnouts. With even tire contact, your traction will increase. With a new set of tires, you will notice a big difference.

How much air are you running in the tire? It seemed no matter what I did, from an alignment standpoint my drag radials would wear weird. I have the car setup at 0 camber now. When I lowered my pressure to 15 they started to wear more evenly and I could see more of the tire being used. I think it's more of a toe issue than camber like others have said.
