Re: Tire pressure
What are you at right now, about 32psi? Take it down to 27 and see how you do. When you heat the tires, they'll expand 2psi. From 27, go down by 2s. But don't go down lower than 22psi. I mean, it's not going to hurt to go from 27 to 22, I've done it before. Just make sure you at least give them a good cleanin if not a decent burn out.
Good luck <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Ya, what he said. I have GS-C's and I consistently 60' at about 2.0x. That's decent for A4 on **** tires. I like mine at 22psi (hot). Just clean them off for a second don't do a real burnout.
