You'd easily hit 12's if your legs were long enough to pin the go pedal to the floor.

That won't help at all unless they are drag radials. The sidewalls on a regular street radial do not flex therefor do not benefit from lowering air pressure at all.

Also, if you are on regular radials, don't do a burnout in the water box. Drive around it completely avoiding the water. Depending on the tire will depend on what type of burnout you need to do. Some tires if soft enough will benefit from heating them up, but some other stock type tires will just get hot and greasy making traction worse.

Just my opinion..
