Default Tire pressure on drag strip.

What tire pressure works best with the stock C8 Z51 rear tires when at the drag strip?
I assume the rears are lowered for better grip and the fronts increased to reduce rolling resistance.

I run 28 on my rears. No drag radials. I really believe the track prep has everything to do with how the car hooks. My car has never spun. Ever. If you go out on a test and tune nite or day with 200 street cars good luck . If you go out on a good prepped track it makes all the difference in the world. Last time out I pulled a 1.56 60’ time. Perfect
track prep . Z51.

That is insane. Congrats on the astonishing time. 10.9s @ 123mph with a stock z51?? Michelin PS4?
