What are your spring rates, what kind of shocks and what bars are you using, I'm assuming it's a Boss 302..correct?
IMO you can't hardly run enough camber in the front of a mustang.
Let me expound on that, what these guys are saying is true, you need to measure temps across the tread surface, now, take that with a grain of salt, because our tires run..about a 50 degree difference from outside to inside, what you are looking for is an outlier number that would indicate a hot spot. I'd say 230 degrees, sustained, hot, you should start thinking about it. (that's with Pirellis or Contis). It's vitally important to get those numbers as the car come off the track, and they are almost as important as the pressure numbers, once you get a setup figured out, their usefulness diminishes in favor of pressure numbers. This means your in lap must be almost as fast as a race lap BTW.
In any case, figure out how much pressure your tires pick up, start the day with a cool pressure less that number (minus 1 psi)
In other words, your tires pick up 10 psi and the hot target is...35psi
Start the day at 26 psi....then come in and add or bleed off to get that 35 psi target (it's easier to bleed off)
