Trapped in 2.0+ 60' time

I have Nitto DR's and I can't seem to get a good hook up. I usually run the tire pressure at 20psi. Do I need to be much lower to get these tires to work? Is the BFG drag radial a better choice for traction?

Honestly, I don't think Nitto's are worth ****. I had a set of them and the tread wore faster than any tire i've ever used. I kinda like Falken's but that's just me and I hear they don't make them anymore.

Get some et streets, they will drop it, just be carful on that 10 bolt. I think go drag or go street, drag radials are that inbetween mark.

ok, so you do have a 12 bolt, get some slicks, that is the whole reason for upgrading your rear, then luanch off the rev limiter . Hell add a hundred shot and you got mid 11's.
