When racing, bump the tire pressure of the fronts up to lower rolling resistance, and drop the rears to 28-30 psi. You may not have to go that far down to hook, and you may have to go just a little farther. You don't want to take a street tire down into the low 20s or teens in pressure though, the tire will start to cup in (center of the tread not making contact with the ground) and you will lose a lot of traction.
