It looked, and sounded like you were getting a bit of understeer is that right, and are you using the traction control?

Smooth is fast. Smooth braking, gas, and handling. Work on technic, and consistency, get that down, and speed/agressive driving will follow naturally.

For more on tire pressure. You won't be running the same tire pressure front and rear. It's important to check for increased pressure and adjust psi after each run, so you can keep the sweet spot when you find it, if your not doing that already.

For street tires, I run Nitto Invo's 265's front and 305's rear (I want to go wider in the front), and I will run 34 to 29psi front and 30 to 28 psi in the rear, and all depending on the course lay out, and how warm of day it is, but I always run more pressure in the front. I've heard a good place to start on the RE-11's is a 34psi front and 30psi rear.

Here are a couple links that have some good info. Autocross Course Driving Techniques

Here is one of my run from this year
