It really should be in AS. Having driven both the M3 and the elise at autocross no way it keeps up.
For tire pressure I have had good luck with 36-40 front (depending on temp and tire) and 34-36 rear. Resist the temptation to run more pressure in the rear than the front. The car actually works better the other way around.
