I was running mine @ 25 or 30 psi (I think I started @ 30? ) and they hooked pretty good.....I was cutting mid-low 1.9xx 60' times. They slowed my speed down compared to running street tires though.....I think because they're "stickier" so they're sticking to the track the whole way?

Depends on your set up, mods, track prep, etc. The 60 ft. in my sig was with BFG DR's. I usually ran 18-20 psi in them and if the track was well prepped 22. Best results was when I did a real hot burn out.

Re: Bfg drag radials

It's just going to depend on what your set-up is and what your car likes. I ran them as low as 12 psi on my wife's Trans Am but usually right about 15-16 psi worked best. Went 1.59 60's with them so they did pretty good.

On another note: I saw some people this weekend at the Thunder Shootout going 1.4x 60' times with the new MT Drag Radials. Those things are bad!
