Default Open day hacker - looking for some advice

I'm entering in a local 1/8 drag day in BF F6 Tornado. It's got factory suspension with a few mods and tuned at 327rw wasps, and has factory 6spd man/clutch. I've picked up some TOYO R888's. Has anyone used them before?

I couldn't find the info on the TOYO site but i want to know approx. what PSI should i be running i them.

Do i have to do a big burnout to generate enough heat? Im not overly experienced in doing burnouts so not overly confident, but enough to spin the tyres a little.

Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Depends, give it a quick spin to get any rubbish off the tires first time, if it doesn't hook too well try warming them up a bit. Don't go trying to do a massive burnout as you will heat the tires up too much.

If you have the chance to do quite a few runs i would be playing with tire pressures, if your still spinning try putting them down a few PSI.

Also try launching at about 2500 RPM to start off with and if there is no wheel spin keep bring your RPM up. Remember the key to a quick 1/8th time is a good 60ft time.

Not the best info, sure someone could give you alot more helpful tips. I drag race ALOT but kind of different as mines auto, i just do quick burnout stall & launch, easy.
