Default Pilot Sport Cups(C5 best pressure)

I am running Pilot Sport Cups (345s rears, 295s front on 18" rims), Moton coil overs and T1 bars. 2.5 neg camber fronts, 1.5 neg rears. I am experimenting with tire pressure.

Any thoughts? I have been running at approx 38 lbs hot on f/r. That feels about right, however a few at track mentioned my tires are designed to run at around 36 hot.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I experienced better traction at 36 psi. My camber is almost the same as yours, but I am going to try an extra 1/2 neg.
