Found this in one of the silca blog articles.. some additional tweaking adjustments you all need to know.
Actually these are supposedly a stab at I think equating comfort levels using PSI as the measuring stick, with some selected component changes. I don't think the recommendation is to actually adjust your inflation.
  • 1 1/8 Steerer vs Tapered 1 1/8-1 1 ¼ steerer (same brand carbon fork): 1.2psi
  • 24 vs 28 spokes Zipp 303: 1.8psi
  • 3x vs radial spoke lacing, Zipp 303: 2psi
  • Curved vs Straight seat stays, Carbon Frames (Model Year Change): 4psi
  • Carbon Vs Steel Similar Geometry Custom Frames: 4psi
  • Comfort/Cobble Frame design vs Full Aero frame design: 19psi
  • Aluminum bar to Zipp SL: 7psi
  • Aluminum bar to Zipp SLC: 2psi
  • Zipp 27.2 Seatpost to Zipp 31.6 Seatpost: 4psi
  • Zero Offset Zipp seatpost to 25mm offset Zipp seatpost: 3psi
  • Thomson post to Canyon VCLS SeatPost: 24psi
