Yeah no point in dropping pressure on street tires, won't help and could be dangerous. Just ease into it out of the hole. Might cost you a couple tenths but you (probably) won't break anything.

the camaro, on shitty street tires, first pass was at 40 psi (i had never checked them) ran 17 seconds..dropped the pressure to 32 ran 13.6ish...dropped down to like 20-22 and started making 13.2 13.1 passes...so maybe im wrong then?

40 psi will sure as shit give you traction issues. Even if you actually could get another tenth by deflating street tires I wouldn't do it, not worth hitting the wall at 110 mph

how much power did that turd make midnight?

run them at 28 psi. ease into it then smash it, bang the gears. a perfect run u will be in the mid to low 12's.

i'd put the thing into the 11's

Tony this car doesnt shift for you ;)

my car made 325/350, this car is more like 383/380. I know it has high 11 potential, but not without some serious seat time and better tire. we will see tho

Mike at 40 it isn't getting a full contact patch just the middle. But let's say undaer 22psi it goes the opposite way and u use just the edge. You also run the chance of the bead letting go and the tire coming off the rim. Remember at the top of the track you are at 100+ mph
