You don't need to lower the air pressure for street tires unless they are drag radials. You should be able to luanch around 4500 but thats a trial and error process.

I dont' really agree with the shift 400rpm past your max HP-- it might work in a domestic car, but as far as Honda's are concerned-- The HP curve is peaky, so when you do shift before redline, the RPM after you shift is going to have less WHP and less torque than it would have staying on the throttle until redline, though this isn't always true, but it's typically the case.
