That's only true to a point for street tires. Lowering the pressure will be better for launching, but it will hurt you at the 2nd half of the track, cos the lower pressure causes more rolling resistance. I would start at 30-32 lbs in the rear tires, and see how the launches work out for ya.
Pump the fronts up as high as you feel comfortable with....remember that during a 1/4 mile pass, the fronts don't have time to heat up and raise the pressure much. You shouldn't have any problems with the tires if you run the fronts between 50 and 60 lbs. Just remember to air them down before you leave the track.
Good Luck!
