teh key is to start high and work your way down slowly. i woudl say start at 22 or 24 and take air out 1 or 2 psi at a time to see where it leads. watch both teh 60ft adn the mph at teh otehr end of the track. the idea is to run as much air as you possibly can adn still hook cleanly.
to compare teh improvements you are gonna have to make sur eyou stage consistanly too. if you are moved around in teh beams by only a few inches it can show dramatically on your 60ft times and ets.

later

I dropped mine down to 18 psi and was hitting 1.79-1.74 with the BFG Drag Radials, i'm not too sure with the Nittos? My tire size is 275/60/15.
