well with street tires, you should leave the psi at the normal level because of the hard sidewalls. When launching, I find it best to just stall it up to 800-1000 rpms, any higher than that and you'll probably start to spin the tires. When the light turns green, I press the gas down only 3/4 of the way and then immediately go WOT. I was able to get the 1.99 60' with my crappy 245/50/16 all season tires, so hopefully those tires you got will help you a lot.

I've noticed that you already went last night, so how did you end up doing?
