I've had good luck running my drag radials around 24psi at the track. Bunch of 1.5x 60' times between my old 67 Firebird and '69 Falcon wagon. At that pressure, I didn't even have to add pressure to drive home.
I remember running against an open-header trailered car with slicks at the Houston (Baytown) track in my Firebird. He took me off the line, but I drove around him by half-track and eliminated him. I looked over as I passed him, and remember him having a shocked look on his face that a street car was outrunning him.
About an hour later I'm driving home, and drive past him again with his car on the trailer. I look over, and he again had the same shocked look on his face :-)
