Nitto Drs Launching Tips and Tricks......

I'm picking up some Nitto 555rs pretty soon and I will be hitting the track. I've never ran Drs on any of my cars so this will be a new experience for me. I have a couple of quick and probably easy questions for you guys:

-What's a a good tire pressure range to run on the Street/Track?
-What's a good RPM to launch from (M6)?
-With the stock rear end should I do a fast slip of the clutch?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out.

On the track start with 22psi and go down from there. For the street I would go around 30psi if you want to last at all. I don't know how you like to launch your car but I just dump it a 3500 rpms at half throttle and then floor it. I would try dumping it around there and also slip it out, it may work better may not. When your on the track heat them up real good, til you see smoke for a few seconds.
