Default First decent outage

I finally got back to the track after getting the new MT ET Streets on. I'm still learning with this setup and was adjusting air pressure, burn out time, launch rpm, etc. I took the pressure down to 18psi, but wasnt able to leave at more than 2000-2300rpm w/out smoking the tires. I guess there's still more to be learned/adjusted. The last pass of the day it went 10.15@136 with a 1.6 60'. I'm pretty satisfied, but feel the car has a lot more left in it. Any suggestions on tire pressure, or the amount of heat they like? I have a buddy uploading a vid, as soon as he gets it to me, I'll post it up.

are these the et street drag radials, if so i had them and they didnt hook well for me until i learned they needed a significant burnout prior to first pass and decent burnouts after. would start 18lbs cold. after i learned tire was able to cut low 1.5 and high 1.4 sixties have run them as high as 21 psi with real good tack prep and once 22lbs. at 21lbs i cut my best 1.479 on them. also seemed to me the tires when new needed a few heat cycles. now run hoosiers dr and will be running with a new set this sat. on hoosiers best 60 has been 1.45 on my last pair just before the were down to cord
