Default Best tire psi and heat-up procedure for Drag Radials..??

What do you guys run in your Nitto/BFG etc. DR's at the track?? I only tries a set on DR's once and it was horrible, so much wheel hop I though I was going to crack the dash clean in half! So what have you guys found success with? And what burn out proceedure do you use, namley, waterbox or no waterbox?

I've run mine ~16-18 psi...Nitto NT-555R's, slight "dry hop" due to track not allowing FWD cars in the box without slicks(not that the box helped when I used it) Best 60 ft of 2.008.

i ran my nitto d/r's at around 22 psi. no burnout, just a hop. ran alot of 2.0's-2.10. ran the new bfg's on my b20 na car. about 18-20 psi. maybe a little burnout. nothing big. ran 1.95-2.05's. the bfg's are way more consistent though.
