I would start at 20 lbs. and start adjusting the pressure from there.

I agree, start at 20 lbs. At a good track, with that much wieght, you should be able to run 22-24 lbs of air pressure. Each pound that you can put into a radial (without spinning) is usually worth .005-.008.

20 lbs always works best on my '71 Duster E/SA @ 3310#. Good luck with the new car, hopefully we'll cross paths sometime, maybe the North American Nationals at Epping.
