ET Streets

I am going to the track next Wednesday with ET Streets for the first time. What psi should I be at if I plan to drive to the track (~10 miles), and what psi should I start with at the track. My car is a 6 speed, with 3.73's and 333rwhp. I do have a 12 bolt and a cartek clutch, so I hopefully won't break anything.

Thanks for the help

Re: ET Streets

I run around on 28psi, then lower that to 20 at the track. That's a good starting point. If it spins, I lower the pressure.

Re: ET Streets

I run 30 also on the street. I run anywhere from 14-18 psi at the track depending on how well the track hooks. 16 psi seems to give me my best times.

Re: ET Streets

Start off high as everyone said. If they don't hook, bring them down. Remember to do a nice burnout. Don't listen to people at the track who tell you to run them at 12psi. I ran mine real low one time, and I did not like the way the car felt at 100 MPH at all!

Re: ET Streets

28 street and 17 track. 15 psi, and one of my tires started moving on the rim. I ran tubeless even though they are tube-type tires.

Re: ET Streets

I run 15 psi cold in my et streets on the track, and about 20-25 on the street on my nova, and it has a decent track suspension set-up with front and rear drag shocks and no front sway bar. Running more psi in them usually wears out the centers in mine, and I can usually get 150-165 runs from a set of 26 x 11.5 x 15 on 8 inch rims.
