What tire pressure for drag racing?

Alright, need some help. Fastest run tonight was 17.667, R/T @ 0.878, 60' @ 2.634, 1000' @ 14.798 and MPH @ 78.14. I know the R/T sucked, but that doesn't affect ET. My problem is that starting out my front end is hopping all over the place, I can't get my tires to hook up quickly. Tried leaving at 3200 to about 4000 rpm. Want to know, since there seem to be many of you on here in the 16s and low 17s, what tire pressure are you running. I was at 32 psi for two runs and then dropped it to 24.5 psi and had my worst run of the night (17.933) but my best R/T (0.421). I'll take any wisdom on drag racing that is out there, but really want some advise on tire pressure. Thanks.

Oh yeah: thank goodness for bracket racing.
