What tire pressure for ET DRAGS?
I know you guys probably get this a lot. What tire pressure should my buddy in his 02 WS6 set the Micke Thompson ET DRAGS at for running?

Thanks in advance...

I found that with 11.50x16 ET Streets (same compound as the full slick) that 12-13psi gave the best 60'. It got a little squirrley at the big end with that pressure though.

I like 15psi.

11-12psi will make the car feel like it's swaying back and forth at the top end of the track.

The correct tire pressure is the most air pressure that you can put in the tire and not spin. I run 1.49 shortimes with 22#s. Less is not always better. Frank95z

Frank at your track, NPR, I could probably go 20psi or more too, it's the best hooking track I have ever experienced, but up here 15psi is what I need to hit 1.4's.

The good news is that I can run 22# at No Problem,Baton Rouge, and Louisiana Raceway. Got to love the prep. I wonder if NPR is faster than that Texas track. Frank95z
