depends on your wheels, I run Aero extreme bead dirt wheels and run 20 psi for the RF, LF 18 and could probably go lower. Lower = more traction.
On the rears I run Stock rims RR 25 LR 18.
I have heard if you break down the outside bead of your RF and glue it on there with some Liquid nails you can run low pressure like I do, but if you don't do anything the RF will come off the bead repeatedly no matter how much air pressure you put in them, costing you lots of good finishes. after this happening to me about 4 times costing me money finishes, I bought the Aero Wheels. Money you aren't winning is money you are losing.

Another thing to do, take the front sway bar off, it will loosen the car. Further on a front wheel drive on a tight short race track it is helpful to widen the front track as compared to the rear track, if you aren't allowed to use offset racing wheels, use spacers providing you still have safe amounts of threads gripping the lugs or go to the bone yard and measure the distance from the wheel center to the ground on other stock wheels this is the back spacing try and find a pair with a smaller number than your rear weels, or a larger number than the fronts. if you do use racing wheels you need to get some 1 inch lug nuts available from Speedway motors in the metric thread pitch you need, a good idea even if not running racing wheels.
Next FWD cars are nose heavy take every bit of weight that you can off of the front of the car leave the back alone. this will help loosen the car too. Hope this helps.
If you are allowed to do anything with the springs or any of that let me know via PM and tell me about your track and the car you have. I'll hook you up with my whole set up. see what you can use. that way nobody has your info except you.
