Default bfg drag radial launching?

how would you guys recomend launching with the drag radials, also what psi should be in them? i was doing burnouts after going through the water box till they started smoking and it seemed to be working but is that the right way?

its all abotut hat sweet spot.
i tried thme once at 14psi reccomended from BFG i launched at 5k on the 2step and it hooked pretty decent, but a little wheel hop , slight spin , i think it needed a hair higher launch
smoeone told me to launch lower becuase the traction issues, they told me 4k? i thought it was crazy so i tried 4500, and i knoew i shouldnt have went lower, but broke an axle on that launch becuase of severe wheeel hop .i say as long as you have a good clutch start higher and work down , 5k is usually a good spot to start from

It depends on the motor setup and power you have really but, yo wanna make sure you get them nice and sticky. Then like i said it depends on your setup. Do some test runs at different rpm's to check. We launched a h22 civic coupe at 3k and it spun a little. I also recommend getting traction bars the help allot by getting grid of all the wheel hop. I know someone pulling 1.6 60's on slicks so that would be like a 1.8-1.9 on BGF's and thats pretty good. For every 1/10 of your 60 time you can expect like 1-2 1/10's of your et so work on it a bit!!
