I tried mine at 12 lbs last time I was at the track (61 degrees out) and they still didn't hook for ****. Couple of guys at the track told me to try 10 lbs, but I had already gotten pissed off and loaded my car back up. It is like superchargedbandit says in that it will vary on temp. Just start high and lower the pressure until they start hooking. I personally think 10 lbs is a bit too low for my safety but to each their own.

You're going to bog very heavily if you drop them to anything under 20psi. Your stock stall can't handle that type of tire and will probably net you worse times then what you can run on a stock tire/drag radial.

I'm telling you this b/c it did the same thing to me when I was on a stock stall/2.73 gears and bolt ons.
