Question 1993 GT Mustang Tire Pressure For Drag Racing

I have Hoosier Quick Time Pro's (same as MT ET Streets) on my 93 GT Mustang.
I'm running them without tubes (contacted them and they said most people run these without tubes)
Hoosier reccomended to start with 12 lbs psi for pressure.
What pressure range should I stay within to operate safely?. Lowest and highest psi?
Thanks

I'm up to 22psi. I started at 14psi and worked up believe it or not.
The car hooks so hard with these tires that it bogs. Launching at 4 to 5k rpms. I have to slip the clutch a little. I'm going to try 24 psi next time.
I don't like slipping the clutch. It's hard to stay consistant that way.
I can be more consistant by just letting it all out at once.
Also my clutch catches pretty close to the floor, new clutch. I suppose I could have it catch higher, but I'd rather just adjust pressure.
I have a fender wall adjuster, I just never installed it. Is it pretty easy to do?
Well I guess I don't have traction problems!!
