Tire pressure at the strip

What kind of rear tire pressure are you guys running in your street tires when doing 1/4 mile runs at the strip?

When you're lined up next to me, you need an extra 10 pounds of air in the rear and minus 10 pounds on the front.

That formula can be switched around when you line up against anyone else.

Well given your built in hp and torque advantage, I think the tire pressure will help even things out.

Given that this is all in the name of friendly competition, I'm thinking of getting some DRs tomorrow.
