lol, 1.5 60's is pretty nasty for not running an all out slick 
the lower the pressure the sloppier the rear for sure. just find the pressure that gives you 100% of the contact patch on the ground. any less pressure beyond that and it's overkill and will hurt your ET and MPH beyond the 1/8th mile since it'll be dragging your car on the lower pressures.

Note: Many racers feel that "Less is Better" with regard to air pressure. This is not always the case. While there are exceptions to every rule, we have found higher pressure generally works best with Mickey Thompson Tires. Not only do the higher pressures lead to quicker times, but they also contribute to a safer, more stable ride at the finish line

Well find out again this weekend, if it hook's we can make a little bit more power on the track.
We def. aint no professional drivers and this is all trial and error for us.

Shit, I just assumed with more power your 60' was pretty shitty to run the same et/mph as me??? I'd kill for a 1.5 60'. That'd put me in the mid-low 10's as it sits.
My first pass, 20 psi, 592whp
1.96 60'

Yea man I had almost a whole second faster in the 1/8th. My car on those passes were making much more power then you neither, i was probaly making mid low 600 on those passes. no point of turning the boost up when your getting sideways all through 3rd and 4th gear.

trail and error is the only way to figure out what setup works.
