I think you probably meant more negative camber. I was just curious as I used to run in the low 40s psi in the Corvette depending on temperature and conditions.
If you decide to do it again sometime, you might chalk the side walls to see just how much rollover you're getting and if you could increase the pressure a little.

The Tahoe does pretty well autocrossing. They're big, but fun! We've run ours a couple of times:

It attracted more attention than the brand new C7 Z06 and Ferrari that were at that particular event!

Before I went, I did spend about 5 minutes pulling the heavy aux battery off the left front, and tying a leather glove around the live positive cable. I did notice, with only one battery the starter turned much slower.

While equipped with the second tray, our Tahoe only has one battery, so we've saved weight there. I did replace the second battery in our Caprice with a small Odyssey battery, and moved the AGM full-size on the passenger side to replace the liquid-acid one on the left. If we had a second battery in the Tahoe, I'd probably do that to it, too.

I'll note here that a stock Tahoe PPV will pass scca height-width ratio requirements for solo competition, so there's no worry there. We've run our truck in stock form, and with the 2/3 drop.

The place we have our regular events is the Houston Police Academy, so that place sees a LOT of Tahoe PPV activity.

Might try SCCA RallyX. Autocross on dirt. I ran a ZR2 with several podium finishes against national competition which was mostly Evos and Sti. Probably look interesting going around course with “courtesy” lights going. I gave up SCCA racing. Keep reminding myself.
