Default Ideal Nitto Dr tire pressure?

I've been learning how to launch the car and got a few questions that hope some can help me with..

I am currently running Nittos 555R and i am having a hard time getting a good 60'ft. For some odd reason my first night out with them and a Cartek Clutch i got a 1.86 60' at 17lbs on a terrible weather. I have never been able to duplicate this again?? i am constantly pulling 2.0s and tripping into the 1.9s but i cant get another 1.8 or better?? Some have told me that i am running them too low??

I am launching at ~3K and dumping the clutch?

any suggestiions??

whats the pressure people hook the most with these tires? Should i not dump the clutch?

Thanks
