I usually put 43psi in the front, and 45psi in the rear.

and yes in autocross sometimes slower is faster.

If you have any warrenty left on your car and you are attending an SCCA event, dont give them your real name and car. checks the info posted on the SCCA website and will find your name, car and void your warrenty. No joke

Actually I was in autocross yesterday at Miller Park Wisconsin.

And I run in SM index also, sometime I actually turn down my boost like from 22psi to like 16psi with my HKS EVC boost controller. Cause most of the time when I'm boosting some much, I really heat up for the corners and most of the times that's what messes me up.

How long have you been autocrossing?

Well for me, with the stuff on my car. They would never warranty my car, I've try that from a few around Milwaukee area, came back out with the big a$$ letter saying "MODIFIED" across the paper. But they did fix that recall for me, which was the weight sticker.

Nothing in that list will help you when autocrossing. We also have a Motorsports section where you can get more advice and info than you could imagine.

The two most important things you need are:

1) Driver mod
2) Tires

Your warranty is already beyond voided, so don't worry about what bigfishs said.

Maybe, but that's a lot of work, and you don't always get to do all that when there is a major failure in the engine or tranny. If you do get it all put back to stock in time, there would still be much evidence of tampering from all the installs.

Usually when you have intake and exhaust that is fine, but when you have the boost controller and UTEC in there. They'll try to find a excute to voild your warranty.
