May be I could help out a bit here.I had the munroe ride leveller system on the old girl a 740 estate and found out that the best overall pressure was approx half way up the green scale at about 55psi from memory. As they were a ride leveller and not performace assistance munroe didnt seem to give much away on this,they commented that it litterally was a ride leveller to prevent bottoming out when loaded up.......hope this assists..
