What is optimal tire pressure for the twisties. I have all my shocks on setting 5 and no rear seats in the back. I currently have 40 psi front and 35 back. This may be way off of what I should have? Anyone have any ideas?

I have found this to be very helpful:

On my Bullitt in stock form, I had a lot of understeer. Most Mustangs do...

Without going to a torque arm/panhard bar solution (yet), I've increased both the tire pressure and shock setting in the back. This is helped to keep the back of the car from swaying so much, and has helped to nutralize the handling.

Hope this helps,
Randy R...
