I'm gonna start scuffing my own tires do
I
Have to have a certain air pressure to do it or not if so what should I put in them
 
You scuff them on the kart, on the track, just to heat cycle the tires. It sounds like your asking about resurfacing them, on a stand with a grinder, right? Same air pressure you race at, usually 5-6psi, and keep them wet while working them
 
I prefer a courser finish with soft track, dusty track, low/no-bite track surfaces. Finer finish with harder track surfaces (typical of most Maxxis tracks.)

On most midwest Burris tracks, I finish using a belt sander with 80g at a 30* cross hatch, the plateau finish with 120g similar to how I would finish an engine cylinder. If I'm on a higher bite Burris rule track surface, I'd finish smoother for sure (220g followed by 320g.)

For Maxxis, I'd be much smoother yet.
