Taking the 'Lude to the strip for the first time...

I've read on how to launch the Prelude, so I think I'm ok with that. But my question is should I lower the tire pressure on my fronts to like high 20's to get better traction?

if you do drop your pressure, make sure you have an air compressor to fill em back up...sucks driving down the streets on underinflated tires.
