20 is a fine starting point, but you aren't going to see a difference in performance making small psi changes.

How your front suspension works is far, far more important than +/- 2 psi in the radial slicks. If that part is good, the air pressure is only going to impact how the tire wears. If the car doesn't transfer well, you're going to go up in smoke and psi adjustments won't help.

It did take me a lot of work to get to that point, but I'd never use a bias tire on my car again.
