Default Air pressure for drag strip?

Just curious what air pressure you guys run on the stock run flats at the drag strip?

I found that 24 worked well ... was getting 1.8 60ft times with a stock LT1 and no seat time in the car using launch control . Everybody has told me that the car is faster not using launch control but have not had the chance to get back to the track because of either rain or just plain old bad air .....

My friend with a C6 tells me he gets a code or his car is speed limited at less then 26 psi. Does the C7 Stingray have this issue under 26 psi? Thanks Dcasole with the info on 24psi. I was at Englishtown 2 years ago and was getting 2.0 60ft times with LC stock. I'm just under 600whp now and would love to get 1.8s or better when I go to Atco tomorrow.

They are both my old hometown tracks ....lol grew up in South Jersey .. back then the grip at Atco left a lot to be desired

I never had a problem with my C6 all the way down to 20 pounds on the stock or my drag radials which were both stock size 285 19 . The only way he would get reduced power has to be because he is not running stock size tires and is running on the edge of the tire size difference delta and the low air pressure is putting it over the edge ...
