What kind of track?
what kind of car?
we tried to set ours up at max recommended pressure in the right front, (35) then 28 RR 26 LF and then play with the LR 12 to 28.

i assume this is for circle track? either way, you need a tire temp gauge. you can get them for like 50 bucks they are infrared. temperature will tell you how hard you are working the tires. too cold and they wont grip. too hot and they are un-predictable and prone to failure and wear. if its circle track then you wanna get low pressure on the LF. for drag racing you want low pressure in the front

If this is for a drag strip, don't bother dropping the tire pressure to much.

Radials don't gain traction with less pressure like a slick would, they actually start to lose traction.

When I was still on my factory 15's I ran them at 28-30psi.

I wouldn't run them any lower than around 28psi.
