Default what tire pressure to run?

Hey guys I have 79 mustang (use to be a 302 and is now a 460 full fledged drag car) it weighs around 3000lbs. What kind of air pressure should I be running in my rear tires/ They are Hoosier 30x9x15's.

Thanks for any input

Default RE: what tire pressure to run?

With my M/T's I run about 16lbs at the track. I would start about 20lbs and start dropping it 1 or 2 lbs between runs. Probably don't go less than 15lbs. Also, check it between every run, it will change.
