Greg---Attached is a reply from Dennis Simanaitis, a tech writer for
Road & Track. Meanwhile, I am in the camp of those owners who run equal
pressures. Usually around 28 lb. at each corner.

Now, here's what Dennis has to say about this:

Hello, Dick,
   I get my knowledge, such as it is, from the great Tech people at Tire 
Rack. They have an 888 number and seem to help folks without necessity of 
purchase. You might give them a call.
   I believe inflation pressures are influenced by a host of things: fore/aft 
balance of the car; fore/aft suspension design; tire size(s); tire 
profile(s). I don't believe there's a hard and fast rule other than "it 
depends."
   Plus, of course, a lot depends on what sort of handling you're looking 
for. Canyon running in the wet would obviously be different from a parking-lot 
autocross.
   Cordially, 
   Dennis
