With the new PT4000, I have only tried 17 psi while smashing the pedal off the tree, so, I know a little more air will do me good. Front sway bar is off for sure. And much thanks for the offer to borrow your drag wheels and tires, however, I'm not yet ready to grind the calipers as of yet. You don't know how much I appreciate your kind and generous offer.

I just took my car to the track yesterday with the SS4000 and a small dry shot. 1.39 60ft with 17psi in the drag radials.

i was having some of the same questions about what rpm everyone leaves at, and i have also noticed my car works better at about 1000 to 1200, cut some 1.50's consistant that way on a good night

can you tell a lot of difference at higher speeds with the PT vs. the SS stall? they are supposed to be more efficient but i don't know how much more.

This sounds like your biggest problem...especially if you're saying the big tire cars are not hooking/having trouble hooking either. I'm so happy we don't have that problem at my home track...unless you're running mid/low 10's on a wednesday night TnT(alot of street tires and imports come out to play).

I don't know how they run the classes at your track, but at most places it's street, No-E (footbrake) then Super Pro (electronics). If it's that way at your track, be the first cat in line (you'll be following the big tire guys). The most rubber possible will be laid down for you at this time. If you're ever gonna hook, this'll be you best chance. After a few street tire guys go through, the rubber gets taken up and your chances of hooking get taken down.

G/L finding you combo. It's a blast when it all comes together.
