psi on slicks?
Ill make is easy for you!
If you run 6/7 psi you will lower your top end and try harder for the better 60 foot while if your gonna run 10/12 psi, chances are that your still run the same 60 foots and youll have a much better top end speed cause the entire tire will make contact with the ground its on.
The problem with running SUCH low pressure is that since there is really no air (6/7psi) in the tire, the entire tire doesnt make contact with the ground causing a loss of speed at the wheels/drivetrain.
Ive tried all psi's and Im usually between 10/12 when warmed up. With my 15x8x22's I am still ablew to knock off 1.8's all day long!

Since John @ M&H is busy this weekend (our prayers are with you and your family)...........
Start at 14 psi warm and work downwards. On the 22x8x13's and allmotor, 11-12psi will be low enough.
Rear skinnies, what tires are you running? I run 60 psi at the track in my 155/60/13's. Just have to make sure I air them down to 42 psi before going home.

like Mista Bone said. start at about 14psi.. and see how it feels for your setup will like it. work your way down 1 psi at a time. There are many factors like, Your wheel hop, your HP, the track conditions and your driving. all matter how the slicks will react.
