Autocross tire pressure

I'm going to be autocrossing my CL in the next few months and wondering what PSI to set the tires at? Wet and Dry.
The tires are Falken 912's 235/45/17's on stock CL-S rims. Suspension's all stock but I'm hoping to get a Progress RSB soon.
I've been told to start at 40 psi front and 35 psi rear for the dry. No info for wet.

start with 38 front and 36 rear. try to take out as much weight as u can for the race. then check the wear on the tires and start pushing the car more and more. check the pressure after every lap.
