Need tire pressures for Hoosier Slicks

Anyone running Hoosier slicks at the track? If so what tire pressure do you recommend hot and cold.

Thanks!

bobc4s is infamous around these parts
Hoosier Tires

What year & model car?
What is the car weight with driver and fuel?
What range is the horsepower in?
Is the suspension stock?
What are your alignment specs?
Are you running bias slicks, radial slicks or dot track tires R3S03?
If you are running slicks what compound?
Are you filling the tires with air or nitrogen?
Which track are you setting up for?
What do you think the temperature will be at the track when you run?
All of these things will determine what pressure to start with.
You could also buy a tire pyrometer and take tire temps at the track and adjust the tire pressure that way. You may not get the maximum potential of the tires but the pressures will be matched to your set up.
I change on my Cup Car the alignment and/or tire compound depending on which track I'm going to.
