what you driving i might be able to convince the wife to let me off my leash, i'll look for you. and what psi are you running your front tires on? if you only need .2 try running 14-16 lbs in the front tires and overinflating the rear tires 5-10 lbs. reduce friction in the back a little and correct the contact patch from centrifugal force of the front wheels. if i get to go i'll bring some urethane spacers we can put in your rear springs to keep the weight on the front get you a little better launch too

TEK--have fun at the family party, try to roll out after 9pm, I'll still be there, the track doesn't open up till 8 and last time I went they didn't start till 9,

AllmotorMax--thanks for the tips damn that front psi is kinda low
C'mon I wanna see that Max at the track

Actually amigo, it opens a 6pm tonight. When you went with me, it was Ultimate Street Night (8pm to 2am), but most fridays are Fast Fridays (6pm - Midnight). The lights are done different and there are a LOT more cars. Be sure to get out there early. Unfortunately I cannot go again this week.

Have fun.

Man i really wanna go. Maybe next friday. Where do yall meet up at?

allmotormax · Apr 11th, 2003, 03:48 PM

i wouldn't recomend hitting any curbs but yes you can go that low, start at 20psi if it improves your 60ft, go down a little more from there i don't know how many passes you plan to make but you should always be tuning your vehicle when your running it even if the tuning you can do is limited, and remember use your imagination, just don't get stupid i've done that a couple times it ain't pretty, oh and if you have two spares run those out back if the track will let you

seximagtr · Apr 11th, 2003, 09:15 PM

actually... i wouldn't drop tire psi that low... at that point... you're just gonna bog... i'm sc'd and i was at 19 psi on the tires hooking up like no other....

If you're NA, I'd suggest 25 psi and working down... and of course, as high as you please without goin boom in the rear...

of course you guys are probably at ennis anyway...

allmotormax · Apr 11th, 2003, 09:38 PM

yeah i told him to start at 20 and if it improved work down
