Default Tire Pressure difference at the track

Does anyone know how much better my ET will be by dropping the tire pressure from 40 to 20lbs?? Yea, it's a dumb question. But 13.7 is pretty damn dissappointing. I still can't get over it.

Well that sucks... They weren't recording the 60' times... It's pretty much stock( MSDS, NGKS, CUT-OUT, SLP LID, 3'' Exhaust, K&N) And it's an A4. I have the TCI SSF3500. But I still haven't put it in. I know I'm gonna need tires for that.

well to start with some drag radials are a must with a converter. next you need to focus on suspension in my opinion, and a set of headers.
with the way it sits, you should be in the 12's even on stock tires if you dont try to blast the tires of the line.

right now it is way too humid to be runing at the track I normally run in the mid 12's during the winter times here. But as soon as march comes around all the way till about october I don't take my car to the track i am always around 3-4 tenths off just by the weather alone
