A light rider running slicks at a high psi is not going to achieve much surface contact with the road. Dropping PSI will help, do consider your weight. A lighter rider will want to run a lower PSI.
I totally agree with the comments regarding setting your speed before entering the corner and keeping the pedaling as smooth as possible, let the bikes momentum do the work so you apply as little pressure as possible to the pedals. You want to get your head down so u get some wight over the front end and run the front at a lower PSI than the rear.
