17 psi. Do burnout and and recheck after first pass in which they will probably jump to 19 psi. Drop them back down to 17 and go to go.

It really depends on weather conditions, track prep, the power your car is making, whether it is M6 or automatic, and the tires you are running. For example, the conventional wisdom is that drag radials work better with automatics, and bias ply slicks work better with manuals.
I have had good success at my bolt-on power level hooking with MT drag radials as high as 22lbs. The general rule is that you want to run the highest pressure you can that allows you to hook. So I would usually start at that pressure and then lower it progressively if I spun.
I was only able to dead hook (once) on TOYO DR's at 15lbs. I could never dead hook on Nittos. But with Mickeys I could generally hook at 18-22lbs after a serious burnout.
Mickeys have worked well for me, but lot of guys like Hoosiers or M&H. You will want to go with a tire that is really meant for the track, rather than a "street" drag radial such as TOYOs or Nittos.
