Using NR2003 Replay Analyzer to Tune Setups?

I recently purchased the Replay Analyzer for Nascar Racing 2003. The data you can get with the telemetry is amazing. Anyone have any tips on using this telemetry data to tune your setups? For instance, is there a good camber number to see on each wheel when driving through a turn? When in a turn, my RF and LF are both running different cambers. Logic would have suggested that in a turn both cambers should be near zero (full contact patch while going through the turn, right?) so I can go as fast as possible through the turns. That logic was WAY off (I tried just for kicks). Any setup gurus that can give some pointers on using the telemetry for tuning setups???

Zero camber in the turns would only give you a full contact patch with an infinitely stiff tire. In actuality the wheel needs to lean a bit towards the center of the turn to make up for the tire distortion due to lateral force. Unfortunately the sweet spot is going to depend entirely on the tire model in the sim you are playing, so how to find the right spot can vary from game to game. For NR 2003 I *think* it has been said that you want to use enough camber to get the inside edge of the tire (inside relative to the turn, not relative to the body) about 5 degrees hotter than the outside.
