I know one guy with a very fast 996TT that sets his best lap times with 51 psi hot rear pressure. 38-40 psi is a good hot target for the front.
If you talk to the Hooiser tech guys, you will find they say the sweet spot is 36-39psi hot.

Arnie,

Absolutely true for a properly setup car, it the heavy soft cars that need more pressure. For example my 944T worked really well at 39 psi.
