Default Tyre pressures - Toyo TQ drag radials

Hi guys - I am going out for a test & tune day at AIR and I am running my 275/40/17 Toyo TQ's for the first time. I am not going to be able to change pressures too much on the day so what ballpark figure should I run them on? Car is a 2011 FG GTP tuned to 382 rwKw...
Any advice from people who have run them or the 275/40/17 ET streets would be greatly appreciated.

Shane

There will be someone there with a tyre gauge, if your spinning drop them down slowly after each run till you find the best launch.
Get them to 18 cold and start dropping from there depending if you spin or not.
