Cal, my best results have been when running the fronts at 35 - maximum contact patch seems to work best and I get consistant 14.8 runs.

Mike,
I think the argument is that you're NOT getting the maximum contact patch when you run the standard PSI. When you nail the gas, you get use of that contact patch for a split second, then the weight is transferred off of the front wheels, resulting in a reduced contact patch because of inertia (tires spinning causing the tire to balloon a little) and less weight on the front of your car than the 35PSI expects.
Lots of FWD dragsters run their cars at reduced PSI on the fronts and increased on the rear to get better times.
