ET Streets Tire Pressure?

Just got a set of MT E.T. Streets and was wondering what tire pressure is recommended to run at the strip. I have a 2002 Camaro with mild mods and is at full weight. Ran 12.95 on regular street tires so hoping to maybe pick up a little with these.

I generally run 14 1/2 pounds in mine, depending on conditions. I would suggest you start at 16 pounds and then adjust up or down accordingly. The goal is the maximum amount of air that hooks as to reduce rolling resistance at the big end of the track.

You have to experiment. I got my best 60' time of 1.51sec last year with 26x16x11.5" ET Streets using 12.5psi. Was a little squirrely at the top end with that pressure, which made me glad for my tubes and rim screws!
