max pressure on awd cars, especially the evo. you don't want your tires to hook up that well, or you will blow your clutch apart. let the awd worry about traction.

Here's my .02 cents
I like to keep my pressure's normal at all times,I think that if you lower your tire pressure you will have more grip but the more grip your tire's have,the more of a shock will it produce on your drivetrain and eventually cause more wear and tear.Unless you have 400+ hp you might need the extra grip but I like to let em spin cause the tire's seem to grip 1 second later

I use stock psi because my whole mindset on racing the EVO is drive it to the track, make zero changes to the car and run off some low 12's and then after making zero changes to the car drive it home. The only change I might make since I live over an hour from the track is dump in some unleaded race fuel and raise the boost after getting to the track if I want to shoot for an 11 second slip.
