BFG Drag Radials

How many of you are running these? If you do use them what air pressure do you run them at. I have been using them for a year and a half and would like to improve my 60' times some more. I run my tires at 11 or 10 psi. My tire size is 225/50R15 and my best 60' time is 1.9

I have been messing around trying to find the perfect RPM to launch at, but was wondering if i should have more air pressure in them.

I think 10-11 psi is way too low for a radial tire. I would try 20 psi.

17 psi was were my bfg's worked best 1.7 60ft and they were 18's.

Be sure to air them back up after racing they will split on the inside were you cant see if you run them on the street this low!
