Default C6 Tire Pressure

I ran at Bradenton last weekend with my stock C6 (first time). I left the traction control on and used 30 lb tire pressure. Will it help to turn off traction control and reduce tire pressure? My best run was 12.98 at 111mph.
Thanks,
Tom

Definitely TC off for best times. I run 24lbs in my street tires, but I know guys who go as low as 20-22 with runflats. Is your car an A6? Not bad times at all, but probably more left.

Thanks for the feedback. I have an M6 tranny. I've been going to the dragstrip for many years as a spectator. Sure was fun to race my car.

Tom: Good times for first time out what kind of 60' and what was the DA. I ran mind with 28LBS 2.1 was the best 60' after going into the water box at Atco with street tires you have to do that there.I think low 12's is in order with drag radials.
