No idea but as to your speed but:

Set them to your normal road pressure less 15% when COLD.

Stick them in the warmers and check just before you go on track. (they'll have been in warmers for 60 mins ideally).  If they are above your normal road pressures drop them to below by a PSI or two at most.

When you come off track, dont have a cooling down lap but come in at your normal pace and check them immediately if they are too high, once again drop a PSI or two and put them straight back in the warmers.

Call Maxxis and ask them what their HOT track pressure will be and work backwards.

Once you've done it a few times you'll be fairly accurate setting them cold with a little experience under your belt.  The key is to check them as you return from the track as thats when they are at full operating temperate according to your riding style.
