I have a couple of questions....
1) What pressure do you run the fronts and rears?
2) What RPM to you launch at?
3) Best 60's?

E/T Streets on the back 26X10.5X16, tried anything from 8-18 psi
mainly stick with 12psi

OEM on the Front about 38PSI

Automatic Tranny stalls to about 1200 RPMs mashing the pedal :smash:

Best 60' Time Ever 1.49's Trouble hooking ever since, mainly high 1.5's and low 1.6's done at U.S. 41 and Byron (been there once pulled high 1.5's) on a very used e/t Street

Going to a Hoosier Slick 28X10X16 this spring
