i was running 19 psi in the left and 18 in the right tire.....i only did a lil burn out just enough to clean the tires off and then i launched them at 3000 rpms and pretty much jus dropped the clutch.....so that may or may not help you the track was pretty sticky so it was hard to spin on any tire ....hope that helps and good luck

if your still running on the street tires dropping pressure to about 18 or19 will help out a bunch and if you dont mind abusing your clutch slip it at the launch and hold on
