Whats a good tire pressure for drag radials at the track? Or a good starting point anyways.

Thanks!

16psi and adjust from there if you want to save time

or start at 20 and drop a pound or two after each run until the 60's level off

What size drag radial? On a 15" rim or 17" rim? I'm guessing a 15" I use 12-14psi, lately 14psi. But just as Matt mentioned, start at 18 or so and work your way down each run.

i started low and went up. i found out the higher i went in tire pressure the higher my mph was. the higher the pressure the better the feel also at high speeds

Go as high as you can and not blow the tires off.
Since you're just getting this combo sorted, KEEP A JOURNAL!! :D
Write down as much as you can, because there's going to be a steep learning curve ad there will be too much to remember.

with my 275/50/15 nittos I run around 12psi in them

and it dead hooks off my 4500 2 step( well on a good night )
