What year is the car? What kind of control arms do you have in the rear? I'd start the tire pressure off at 14psi. We've gone in the 10s with drag radials at 14psi. Work on your launch. Practice makes perfect.

I agree w/ Darrell. Up the air pressure 2psi at a time until it gets consistent. Also, make sure the burnout is consistent from run-to -run. On my car, that seems to be the biggest culprit in a bad launch.
