I would run those pressures HOT or a little lower. I run 36 F and 33R cold and gain a lot of heat in the fronts; like 3psi per 50 second run. Above 42 I have felt the car break traction or become unsettled easier. You can see it if you are trail braking and really pushing it.

I go 37/35 hot for autocross. Dont forget I am running R comp tires R888s and RA1s. Different tires than you, but I ran stock PS2s fairly close to that too. Also I am crazy about the right settings and chalk my tires to make sure they are using the perfect amount of tread.
