These wheels are very light and the 15x8 model is only 14 lbs The wheels will be pretty tucked on a Z though.

There's a saying in drag racing. I think it goes something like "you haven't drag raced until you do the slick dance going down buck fifty."
What would be the ideal pressure for these MT ET's? I'm not forced induction.

It depends on the weight of your car and what the conditions of your track and climate are.

For slicks, you want to be at the highest possible tire pressure without slipping. So, you always start high then reduce it by 1 psi if you spin. When you hook up without spin, that's where you want it to stay for that night.

Thank you. I usually stick around 15 PSI.

From the research I did, it seems as if the "floating" & swaying I have during the last portion of the track is normal.

You shouldn't be swaying too much. If you are, then you need more air in your tires. You should feel very little, unless you're going 115+.
