It's gonna be different for every car and every track. There are some guidelines you can use, but for the most part you'll just have to play around at the track and see what the care likes. The prep, type of burnout you do, launch technique, if you're looking for some spin or a dead hook, etc... All that stuff will affect what PSI and launch RPM you use.

one thing i have found with both the nittos and mickeys in the 315x35x17size on 11 in rims is that if i go down below 18-19lbs is the center of the tire starts to get a valley bow in it . the mickeys seemed to like a big smokey burn out , the nittos not so much just a couple of seconds. they didnt bite worth a darn when we did a big burn out . a genleman named ranger sugested i do a short second gear burnout and said to mmake sure i back into the water box then roll out to the front edge of it so to minimize water getting on the wheel wells and front tires . never had thought of it much before as all my other race cars have front runners on them my zr1s i run the standard 275x40x17 tires pumped up to 50 lbs at the strip
