suspension & tire pressure for drag racing

I'm looking to improve my 1/4 times without doing any additional power mods. My best time was a 12.2 @ 113mph at Sacramento Race Way. 60ft was high 1.7 and I know if I get a better launch off the line, I get can get a 12.0 or better. It was only my third trip to the drag strip and I'm improving each time. Here is my current setup...

EVO IX GSR 5-speed
stock clutch
stock turbo
6,000 2 step rev-limiter
Falken Azenis 255/40/17 (tire pressure @ 27-30psi hot at the strip)
Megan street coilovers (8k/6k) adjusted stiff in front, soft in rear

What would be a desirable tire pressure for drag racing at the track? Also would like to know if there was a certain spring rate thats better suited for coilovers that see drag use.
