 Post subject: Pyrometer help at the test and tune

Can someone lend me a tire pyrometer and a few minutes of expertise to assist with interpreting the data? I have been in the 'set and forget' mode since the one time I tried to adjust pressures in between runs resulted in my worst performance. The set and forget has worked well with my stock tires but I have some different tires to test out and would like to use some intelligence to dial in the correct pressure. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Chris

BUMP.

How about I sweeten the deal by offering to buy one of Christine's Happy Meals in exchange for pyrometer help? Anyone??

Chris,
I've got a infared temp detector, that you can use anytime you want. If that helps. It does not come with expertise, however. all I know is what I read in GRM.

Thanks Bernie, but I received a PM offering the use of a Pyrometer before you posted. So, I am set but appreciate your offer anyway!

Thanks, Chris
