launching around 15 to 1700 rpm in first.
I run 44psi(cold) in the fronts and 18psi(cold) in my Hoosier DRs. You may want to run on a full tank just to get more weight over the rear wheels. Roll into throttle or floor it when launching?


EDIT: 11psi is way too low on any drag RADIAL............17psi is about the lowest you should ever go. Now when/if you switch to a true slick.........then 11psi is perfectly fine.
