Start them out at about 20 psi and work your way down. I can dump the clutch on my car at 4000 rpm and hook but thats on a BFG which hook better than Nittos. Try 3000 rpm and if you spin go lower and if you bog go higher. Be sure to post up a time slip, I wan to see you 60' time.

That is a massive tire for an 8" rim.
You won't be getting the full footprint.

Yep, I want to know, I am going to the track tomorrow night, and I am going on BFG radials.. Should be interesting hoping for a low low 14 @ 94+ mph... Hoping for a 1.9 60ft.. pulled a 2.0 with my street tires.. I think I should be able to hit a 1.9 with the radials, and thats with stock suspension..
