To make your car rotate well and not just understeer, stiffen your rear as well as raise the pressure in the rear. In the front, you want to lower the tire pressure just to the point that the tire starts to roll over onto the sidewall instead of slide. Thats why you see AutoX guys using chalk on their tires, so they can tell exactly at what pressure their front tires start to roll over rather than lose grip and slide.

Does anyone know some good auto x sites other than scca.org? We have a local chapter at one of our colleges but the info on the site is not that great.

Re: what the heck?
chesbo, one the thing w/ tire pressure is that it's alway different, one thing you can do is use chock, I don't bother, I wash the car before the day of the auto-x so the tires have nothing on them, and then I see how far the rubber is going, and then correct the pressure by psi, it's really just fine tunning it on the spot
