Autocross tire pressures?

I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for tire pressures for Autocross?

I have a G37x coupe with 19x8" wheels running 245/40 Hankook Ventus V12 tires.

I normally run 35.5-36 PSI for daily driving.

I'm confused by some of your suggestions to run higher pressure then typically daily driving? I drop my tires a full 7-10 PSI after my 1st or 2nd run. The tires heat up QUICK, and the pressure will increase with heat.

The G is setup to understeer and the higher tire pressures are to keep from eating away the outside shoulders of the front tres.

I dont really do autocross but at track events i typically run 32 psi all around and it comes up to a 38 or 40 usually after the first session. Then i just lower it a few more psi. For me, the magic HOT psi number is 38 all around.
