so you folks who are regulars at the track , i need some tips on how to launch with the nittos. i wont have more than a day or two before the races to get them on and try them out.
do i do a wet burnout? pass the pit and run dry? full throttle stomp or roll the power on?
i have the c3 pulley and intakes with modded airboxes. on my bridgestones its a smoke fest just about any way you launch.
how much air pressure should i try at the track for my first pass? i have read 15 lbs but not below 12 lbs
any and all info advice and tips will be tried! im super stoked!! cant wait to run!!
I have run NT555's all season so here me out, bring them down to 25 and lower them no more than 22(these aren't racing slicks and have some sidewall stiffness) for your burnout if your track allows you to pull around the water due so but if you drive through them dont worry it makes almost no difference. I normally do a 5-8 second burnout this depends alot on ambient and track conditions but dont be afraid to heat these up they get alot stickier warm. when you find the sweet spot these DR have allows me to run 1.7 consistantly if i dont spin off the line. launch in between 1,200-1,500 and go full throttle as quickly as traction allows. On a well preped night at gateway i can stall up till 1,500 and mash the petal down and wow can you feel the g-forces
. Hope that helps and you might have to adjust launches for you track's prep work start at 1,200 and work your way up.
