Default How to launch my nittos at the track, I am use to Bfg's?

I have 275/40/17 nitto drags on the back that I run around on my car all the time. At the track I have been using 255/50/16 Bfg drags and I can launch arounk 5K dumping it and hook and pull 1.8 60 foots, now with the nittos I know I wont be able to dump the clutch that high, so what do you expert M6 nitto users do to get 1.8 60 foots or better? What air pressure? what rpm do you launch? Please help me out here.
I have a strong clutch to so I am really going to need the traction. Thanks

try 12 - 18 psi of pressure and.....
melt the crap out of the Nittos (Nittos need to get alot hotter than BFG's to hook)
should help, but IMHO are not nearly as good at hooking as the BFG's.
