camber for R-compund?

Increase camber - the car will roll more and the tire may flex more in spite of the stiffer sidewall. You need to keep the tire flat on the ground.
Set camber first, take what caster you can get.

While I understand the need for the pyrometer, I'm not a huge fan of them because each autocross is different, leading to inconsistent readings due to course design and even surface changes, all spread across a short run. It's not like a track where you run lap after lap. Test and tune days would help but then the course changes again...

Personally, max caster, then you max camber within the tire "needs'. You can do this by just looking at the tire, but the pyr will eventually save money on wear and is a lot more precise.
Maybe the nats boys are adjusting camber on one for a particular course, but in my experience I want as neutral R-L as possible.

You want to get the right camber for the tires when they are planted on the outside of the car taking most of the cars weight.
Someone correct me if this is wrong, but thats what I was told by a few of the local guys who held an 'Alignment Clinic' this year.
