    Do go with the wider size and drop the pressure. I'd play with them between 13-20 psi for optimal launching. My Hankooks like 11 psi (kinda low for street tires), the Cooper Cobras liked 19 psi, some just don't like to hook, etc. lol

    Yeah, 285s are as wide as I can fit without rolling the fenders. The wheels I'm putting on are 20s, vs the 18s on the car Should help me hook better too. I got my best times by keeping traction control on and feathering the throttle. On my first few passes, it would chirp the tires shifting into 3rd at around 85mph.
    Your sig gave me a seizure.

    lol. WEAK! The camaro has a stage 2 Spec clutch, grabbing any gear results in the rear jumping over and jerking the whole car. It's pretty scary shifting into 4th and that happening. Especially on the stock wheels and on the street. I was running a bike one night on stock tires and on the street, damn near jumped to the other lane shifting into 3rd and 4th.
