I'd agree with Don Miller on this. It does depend on your tires and your
driving style. Assuming you are using "merely" high-performance street
tires and not R-compound stickies, I'd start at 38 all around and go
from there. If it's understeering a lot, drop the rear pressure about 2
psi at a time. But don't go under 30 psi unless you have R-compound
tires that are designed for that low of a pressure. If you have access
to a pyrometer, check it that way.

2 degrees neg camber will work great at an autocross but may be a bit
squirrely on the street. If you are only going to autocross
occasionally, I'd stick with about 1 degree negative.
