I don't think there is a correct pressure. Whatever works best for you is what I would consider the correct pressure. I have these and I've only made 14 passes on mines and 18 psi seems to work best for me so far.

No more than 18 hot. You need to do a John Force type burnout too. BTDT

Yes. Aim your side mirror to look more towards the quarter panel. After you get them spinning (don't be shy with the wheel speed) take a peak in the mirror and make sure you get at least 3-4 seconds of good smoke.
