Well I'm at 433whp right now. I have some 26s that I'm planning on putting & hopefully hit the track this Friday.. What psi do you recommend for the 26s?

i'd stick with the 28's and run less air... just make sure you run tubes and several rim screws.

26's may work but 28's have a bit more sidewall to help with the clutch hit.
