I like higher pressures up front...a bit better turn in.

I don't know how you can drive with 22front and 40+ in back. The car wold have slow transitional characteristics, and you'd be understeering or rolling the sidewall of the fronts in the turns.

Wait a minute...drag racing...duh, brain freeze for a bit. *slapping my forehead*

I don't know about drag, but for daily driving, try 40f/38r or something. Play around a bit until you like how it feels.
