street, Use stock PSI, 30F 30R. autocross, this is going to be a test n tune thing which depends greatly on your setup, such as alignment. but any way, before I got a camber kit, I ushually ran the fronts at around 45 and the rears at about 36-38..

Just so you know, It also deals alot with what tire you are using, as each brand and make has different sidewall stiffness and will need different preasures to prevent/limit tire rollover.

Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

it depends on the tire, it depends A LOT on your alignment.
I ran Kumho MXs about 41 front 45-47 rear
I run Falkens about 38 front 42 rear
More camber lets you run lower pressure. If you're running something stockish for an alignment you need to run more pressure.
I'm running -2.25 on the nose and -1.6 on the rear.
