Default I'm going to the track!

I'm going to Englishtown Race track tomorrow night. I'm gonna run stock with the 315/35/17 BFG Drag Radials. I was thinking of dropping the tire pressure to 15 pounds. What do you guys think?

This block has 125,000+ miles on it and survived a blown head gasket and lots of antifreeze in the oil. Although it runs well, I know it lets out a good cloud of oil smoke when being stomped on and the rpm's get up there.

If its a Radial, do not drop it that low, this is not a slick. Although there is not much sidewall. I ran nitto's, M/T, and BFG I found mid 20's in the rear and 45 in the front. Each car will have a variation. If the PSI is too low then you will lose top end mph.

my brother totaled his camaro at the track bc he had too little air in his tires, so be careful.
