If they are slicks (not DOT's) I think I'd start at 8psi go up 1/2 pound each pass until you get the best 60' But you will need to keep the Launch RPM. I run 9psi most of the time but on a slick track 8.5 works better..

you guys might think i'm crazy buy i run 10.3/4's in my 1432's , i talked to some tire guys & was told to run as much as possible.if the tire balls up when you leave you don't have enough air.add air until it doesn't ball up & then add 1/2lb until you lose 60' then back it down a 1/2lb.jmo.good luck
