Tire Pressure in BFG Drag Radials?

[Bundmar]

Im going to the track tonight and was wondering what tire pressure in my BFG Drag Radials?
I was thinking 20PSI

what size???
Most people I know suggest 14psi on the bfg's.

You'll have to experiment. One tire pressure doen't cover all the bases. Track temp, prep, condition, etc is going to play a roll. Keep playing with it until you get your best 60ft times.

Between 15-18 depending on track

Start out with 20 PSI and drop it 2 PSI at a time until your 60' start getting worse and then go back up 1 PSI at a time until you find the best hook.

well with my 15s i leave mine at 30psi's and i actually have to much traction so you gotta kinda play with it. i think the smaller the side wall the less pressure you want and it also matters on how much HP your running

You have it backwards.. Generally you use lower pressure with the taller sidewall to take advantage of the "wrinkle". With 18's you want to run them a little higher. I would start around 22 and drop from there based on your traction. I usually run my 315 17's at about 17-18 and they hook well. Ultimately your power level, suspension, track conditions and launch technique will all be factors. As others have said its all about trial and error. What works for you one day may not another. Start high because it's easier to let air out than inflate.
