Very hard to sixty good on 18 inch tires....but 18psi is a good start. I always had better luck launching just over idle, down around 1100rpm.
I run 18 inch MT on the street and tried them at the Bowling Green track under good conditions. 1.8 was the best i could do, which sux

That will do the trick....and maybe get a little higher TC, 3600 is still good for the street.

I have always had better luck letting the converter flash from almost idle, than stalling it up and then flooring it.
it shocks the tires a little harder and if your caltracs are setup properly it should work better.
