Default Track day set up

Any suggestions for track day set up - alignment and tire pressures for an 87? Car is lowered, has 17" 265 tires, bilstein gas shocks, urethane bushing, new after market z51 springs, 30 mm front sway bar and 22 mm rear bar. For slalom we use 38 psi front and 36 rear.

I run Goodyear DOT tires and start with 23 lbs cold. That ends up at 32 psi hot. I run the Corvette Challenge springs. They're a whole lot stiffer than the Z51 springs.

I have Dunlop Direzza Star Spec.

We AX the car but want to run an event that is a road course. We use alignments that you find on the Muskegon Brake Site. Front camber -1.5, rear camber -1. Front toed out 0.1 and rear with no toe.

I am just in the process of installing stage 2 springs from Van Steel. The spring rating look the same as Corvette challenge springs.

Is the road course alignment much different from AX
