pyrometer tells all

JWillis72 · 11-20-2014, 03:53 PM

Isn't that for exhaust temps? Please explain.

it's reads temp measurements from tire and has a probe w a needle, u do 3 readings per tire, outer, middle, inner and see the temps to see if you need more or less camber

Oh, I've been using a gun to check them. My last trip to Sebring Bridgestone had a rep there driving and seeing what kind of tires were being used. After he found out my RE-11s were only a week old he stopped by several time to check on them. He taught me a lot about tires and helped me get the pressures right. We discussed that but until now I haven't had a way to adjust camber.

Do you adjust your camber at the track? If so how do you not mess up the alignment? I was just looking for a starting point. Thanks for all the input, I'm addicted but still very new at this.

An IR gun will show the difference just fine. Not the most accurate, but it can suffice

IR gun for tire temps doesnt get the core temperature. The surface cools off too fast to get a proper reading with the IR gun. its pretty common tire temp data knowledge to use a probe style.

Not arguing but I'm curious why? Is there one you recommend?

With the SPL arms. You can adjust caster too. I got mine set at +6. You can run more then that if you want to.

If you try to adjust camber at the track. You are changing the caster and toe settings too. Anytime you adjust either camber or caster. Toe will move.

I have Hotchkis on mine and like them but haven't tried others so I can't compare them.
