I would recommend doing a very large burnout and dropping the tire pressure 2 pounds at a time. We generally run from 17 to 22 psi in our cars. Granted I do not have your HP, but my Hoosiers hook much better than my 295x35x18 SC tires. My best on SC tires was 1.75 bonestock while I have cut 1.46 with my current setup on the Hoosiers. How is the track prep?
