Dan, those are my commute-to-work pressures. 
Better gas mileage and straightline driving. At the track, we got the starting pressures down to 18 psi on the RA-1's.

For what reason do you run your fronts with higher psi, and what are the pros/cons of doing so?
(do you have 16 in or bigger?)

First it was why I believe driving a certain way yields better mileage. Now it is why I run staggered pressures. Next, it'll be why I wipe with my right hand. 
Just funnin' with ya.
It all depends on your car's total suspension setup. Spring rates, my front swaybar, tires, etc. all play a role in the overall pictures. I'm no guru- just have played with a bunch of different combos on this car.

Saw that Janet is doing well. Glad to hear that. Is that thing still going on for November?
It wouldn't be much fun if I led the drive part in the V10.

Trick is to got out blazing to get them up to temp quickly. It was a little unnerving at first, but I came around. you'd like it... the blazing part.

I have no idea. She hasn't been on the road for some time now.Normally, I run 34 up front and 32 in the rear. Sidewall strength plays a big factor in air pressures.
