Default tire pressure on M/T ET drags

What is the lowest tire pressure you can run on a M/T ET Drag without tubes?

I run my et streets at about 13 or 14 psi cold. I don't know how different they are though.

Yes sir, they are rim screwed but tubeless. I have see people run as low as 8-10 psi in et drags but I am not too fond of that. Mine hook fine at where I run them so why run any lower.

How much does it cost to get them rim screwed, and can any tire shop do that?

I would post this up in the drag racing tech section but unless you're running 9's, IMO you shouldn't need to go under 11psi, if you're not hooking, you'll have to work on your suspension because that low of a psi on a heavy car makes it unstable on the top end and will slow you down a bit also up top.
