All my 4th gen F-bodies have listed 30psi as the recommended pressure for both front and rear. This info can be found on a sticker on the inside edge of the driver's door.

I'm guessing you're running the stock or equivalent tire which says 44 psi max. In this case I'd run every bit of 38 psi giving yourself a good 6 psi of play in case you hit a big pothole or there is a drastic increase in temperature. As nwe all know from High School/College Chem the drastic influence of temperature upon a gases volume. I personally run 38 psi on my stock tires in the winter and 45 psi on my Eagle F1 GSD3's in the summer (they have a max of 51 psi). The handling at this config can't be beat. Tread wear is excellent. I personally like to run my tires high and have never had a problem as long as you give yourself a good 6 psi of play. Mess around with the setup and find something that works for you.
You should personally run nitrous that way when someone asks you to race you can say 
I recommend you do what the tire says I run mine at 30 when the max is 35 I think
Are you sure? I have Nitrous

I've had two F bodies (01 and a third gen, 91) and both said keep them at 30psi cold. I ran 35 in front on the 3rd gen and 32 on the rear and rotated them every 7000 miles. This caused a bald stripe to be worn into the middle of the tires prematurely. I now keep them at 30psi like GM suggests.

The reason I keep my fronts filled harder is cuz I live right by an Interstate exit on/off ramp that I use alot. So that is alot of driving in circles cuz it's the typical cloverleaf designed junction. I was getting the outside edges of my fronts worn off very quickly. But once I started running the fronts harder, like 38 psi, they started wearing more evenly.
