Try it out and see how you like it. Did you read the link I posted? As long as the tire doesn't start becoming a torus and lifting the edges off the ground you can add more pressure. If you have some white printer paper you can drive over it to see what your contact patch looks like. Regardless of whether you think a sufficiently rolled over tire can flip a car, the physics of higher tire pressures creating more grip are unchanged.
The car will be harder to drive with higher pressures, because the tire will be less compliant over bumps on the surface. My personal opinion is you should learn to drive this way. I'm not alone in this, I know a few people with multiple national championships under their belt who run higher pressures than everyone else. Maybe they're on to something.
