Help with ET Streets - Trouble Hooking I went to the track friday and made 3 NA runs and every time I spun horribly. 2.0 60's. I've get 2.0's on my street tires! I launched from 5.5k, 5k, and 4.5k rpms. I did a nice smokey 2nd gear burn out each time with my new line lock. I started out a 16 PSI but it went up to 18 after the first run. I took it down to 15 PSI after that and still spun. Should I go lower on the PSI or maybe lower RPMS?
Tires: MT ET Streets 28X11.50-16LT (non-radial)
all mods in sig except I didn't spray. front sway endlink removed
Thanks

11 psi in these photos. I have gone as low as 9.5 Don't worry about the low psi., by the time you do your burn out and stage the tire psi has gone up 2 to 4 psi depending on how hot the track is. As far as your burn out do a short spin in the water to get the tires wet then pull foward and do your burn out

yea that^. i used mine at 13 psi and spun. the way the track that i go to is set up you back into the water pit and spin them then pull out and do the burn out. here is a link to a video.

update I did a lot better tonight. I started at 12 PSI cold and spun a little. Next 12 PSI hot spun a little less. 3rd run 11 PSI hot, 5800 RPMs, dead hook and lifted the front end, but then bogged down to like 3k. 1.8 60'. I wish I could've ran more. My car has never hooked that good before! I might actually spray it next time. Thanks for the help guys!
