Default 275 40 17 BFG Drag Radial Tire Pressure?

Hello all. Going to the track to make some runs tonight. Never raced on the track with these tires? Whats going to give me the best launch? How long of a burnout and what tire pressure? Should I wet them first?

Thanks

Yeah, I found that around 17psi worked good for me. I never really did more than a quick burnout either, but I have line locks now... You can bog the car pretty easy now, you'll have to get used to quickly slipping the clutch. The biggest improvement on DR's was the 1-2 shift in my car!
