depends on a lot of factors, suspension setup, car weight, track, driving style, temperature/weather
set it at say 38psi and work your way up. Bring a gauge with you to the grid, and check/adjust pressure between runs.

stock 1.8TQMS. Same pressure front and back?I'd heard better to have front higher, no? (more)
If so, by how many PSI? I've got the Dunlop 8000e's, so i don't think they go higher than 40.

I believe the max tire pressure on the outside of tires are cold temps.
you will notice that once you run your tire pressure will go up by 5-8psi easily just from the heat generated from the run. I'd suggest running a few lbs higher than your daily tire pressure then go up a degree per run till you're happy. And yes in some situations you want higher rear than front or vice versa depending on the vehicle and conditions. Good luck.
