New best time 13.94 nearly stock 1998 T/A SLP exhaust and lid with my tool box in the back
13.94 at 101
I want to get my RT's down in the .1's consistently but this time was on a redlight unfirunately.
my 60' is in the 2.2 almost always. Went down to 15 psi on street tires and still had no traction.
This was at firebird in PHX (slow freaking track) they never do good track prep for the run whatcha brung racers on friday nights.

what kind of temp was it. and i ran my street tires at 34lbs and had 2.00 60' all night long with no track prep but that was in cali, so im sure the air is a little different. but my best was 13.08 at 107mph and that is stock tune.

13.997@99.561 with a 60' of 2.287.This is what i did,and i can tell you it was cold at the track,8 celsius and i had no traction,but i'm going back tomorrow,cold again but fun, to get better times and i'll and i'll worry about rt's when i get better runs.As far as i know changing pressure on a street tire does absolutely nothing.
Anyways nice runs, by the way I posted last week in "first time at the track with the T/A"

I have to disagree with the above. (not about the DR's that part I agree with) I can see where your coming from, but I dropped my Yoko A4's 235/55/16 to 20 psi and made a world of difference. (that and !front sway bar) Maybe its the slightly bigger sidewall. I also recommend doing a small burnout on street tires. Get them a little warm and get all the dirt/water off the tires (assuming you went around the wet box, theres still some over sprinkle from where they spray at my track).
Sorry, Nitro, but thats kinda slow. If your working on a launch (assuming your not bracket racing) don't pay attention to the lights. It has nothing to do with your ET. The clock starts when YOU go. Once I found this out a while back it made working on launches easier because I wasn't trying to beat the clock. I would bring the pressure up to about 20 psi, go around the wetbox, and floor it, just to get the tires cleaned off. Just my $.02
