Front tire pressure? New to drag racing with my 3gen nova A4 LS1. Stock bottom, ported 853 1 7/8 and TSP228 Yank 3600ss 3,42 rear. Only getting 109mph 12.56 / 1,98 on unprepped old airfield. Should i have more speed? Im using M/T 255 streetradials and BFG 215/70/15 in front.
Stock steering and like novas do, alot toe-in when acceleration. I went with 32psi in front and im planing to go 44psi next time. Have you any experience how front pressure behaves with top speed or am i chasing wrong here? What you think speed should be? Sea level altitude.

Okay, thanks for info. Talking about rolling resistance, i found one picture from event and front tyre looks very stupid position to me. Thats why i thougt im missing top speed cause of this.

Alignment can be one solution this point, but not worth the hustle. I drive so much on street also. There is available rack&pinion kits for nova which eliminates bumpsteer and im buying one soon. Try to raise pressure to next event and see what happends.
