what psi should you run bfg drag radials 275/40/17's at the track. i just used them for the first time and had them at 20 and still had poor 60 ft times.

I run mine at 13psi and have gotten a 1.69 60' time. I don't dump the clutch. I slide it.

Yes. I heat them up in the water box using 2nd gear. I usually heat them up for about 5-10 seconds until I get nice smoke coming from them. yeah, they don't last long but they hook!
