I'm new to setting up dirt cars and I have been doing a lot of reading and was wondering what my stagger and tire pressure should be? We run 85 in LF, LR, and RF and 86.5 in the RR. Are air pressures are 22 RF, 18 RR, 17 LR and 15 LF any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Generally you would check the tire temps after the feature, or if the track is real dry.(so you can get some heat in them) If tire is over inflated it will be hot in the middle, 5 to 7 degrees for approximately 1 lb. Set the camber with temps also. Check temps across tires. If hotter on the inside lean the tire out. If hotter on the outside, lean the tire in. 10 degrees is approximately 1/2 degree camber.
