Most modern tires recommend 35-45psi for fuel economy and there is NO WAY you're going to be able to hook up on a rock hard 40-series tire with ~400hp and a stick. There is a difference between "take some air out" and "take it down to the air pressure you run in a slick." Most of these guys would get a better launch at ~25psi than they will at 40.
