Default First time going down the track

Hey Guys,

I was wondering what I should set my tire pressures and what RPM I should be launching. The car is 6 spd, 9" rear, 3.70 gears, rear tires are ET street radials 275/60/15, Front tires are Sportsman S/R 26X6.00-15, LGM G5x4 cam, stock shocks, Eibach Sportline springs (I know I'm changing them out as soon as possible), UMI trailing arms (non adjustable), UMI torque arm, Founders adjustable panhard bar, and MSD 2 Step. Please let me know if you need anymore information.

28" tires and 3.70's on a naturally aspirated 6 speed? May I ask why?

I'd start around 15 and see how the car reacts. Have someone watch and/or video. Its going to be tough with the radials though. Going to have to play with the launch rpm too. Stick to one change at a time though so you don't confuse yourself as to what change helped and what hurt.

Honestly I plan on going turbo soon so I figured it was a nice tire to grow into. I'm just trying to get some seat time before the winter build.
