    I'd either call Hoosier or put 6psi in them and see how they feel about it.

    I would even put 7 in them, especially if the track isn't so good.

    1/8th mile times

    Maybe it's just me but if this is going to be your first time out with the car and IF you just happen to have all systems working in the optimum state you could run 3.80's. If you maybe don't have all the particulars sorted out then probably 5 something. That is IF it does not get squirrely and you wreck it. (Don't ask me how I know that can happen). There IS a "learning curve".
    Run it rich and go from there. Hopefully you have consulted with someone in the fuel injection business that has flowed your system and given you a basic tune-up. If you have not done that then you are on your own. Bring some extra burst panels to the track. (Don't ask me how I learned that either).
    Hopefully you have a data recorder to show you what is happening on the run. Watch your plug readings and PAY attention. If not, you are really on your own.
    Good luck with it.
