"to cure for 24 hours. I understand there is some molecular  
realigning going on during the cure period.

FWIW -
After talking with the Hoosier tech guys, this is what I gleaned:
Heat cycle a minimum of 24 hours before race temps. 5+ days after  
heat cycle is preferred and anything under 24 hours doesn't do  
anything. 15-20% increase in tire life with proper curing procedure.  
Your results may vary but my results look to be at the high end ++.   
According to them, a 2000 lb car will reach maximum grip near max  
pressure of 41psi/cold. The trade-off will be less predictability and  
a abrupt break-away... Fine by me.
That said, I run 38 front/36 rear cold on a 1977 lb, solid axle TR4  
with -1/2deg camber up front.
