Default Hot Pressure??? Michelin Sport Cups

Just put a new set of Michelin Sport Cups on my C6Z yesterday in prep for Chin/Barber next weekend. Filled to 28 psi cold and took it for a back-road drive. Heated to 33-34 psi during the drive but the Cups felt much "softer" than the Michelin PS2s I'm accustomed to. For those of you that have experience with the Cups, what hot pressure do you find handles best on the track?

Thanks, as always guys.

I ran them last year during hpde's on my c5 Z, hot temps were 34- 36. They seemed to track ok, pretty even wear, but I I also found that in the later sessions, them seemed to get greasy.
