If you are talking about the MPSC tires, I hate to be the first to say it but......IMHO there is NO pressure that you are going to run that make those suckers stick. Run a search on this BB and you will get plenty of info. My experience (very not good) is thus:
With a car as light as yours you cannot get them to get hot enough to stick. Especially with a stiff suspension. Especially in an autoX.

My car weighs 2400# or so (it was 2465 at the time) and I gave up on them after numerous very exciting spins.
Even in So Fla I just couldn't generate enough heat in them and they would break away with no warning.
Obviously at an autoX you are in less dire straits but be VERY careful if you take them to the track.
I think the conclusion was that if your car weighs less than 3000# these may not be the tires for you.........but others may have different views.
