Ran my car on 4/5 with these results @capital raceway.. Supporting mods are in my Sig..
Using Mickey Thompson 26x10 slicks.. I've read on a thread of people running air pressures between 22-25 my 60' actually got worse running these pressures.. I Ended up finding a sweet spot of 16-17 psi n no rear end sway!!! Best two passes of the night

Good runs, what do you think was the reason for the mph difference betweens runs? Usually with a 1.6 60 and a 118 trap the stick cars are doing 11.6/ 11.70's.

Anyone running 22-25psi on a 26X10 MT ET Drag slick, should research a little more...

These run BEST on a stick car in the 12-13.5psi (COLD) range... They can me mounted on an 8" wheel, but work best on a 9-10" wheel. My 26X10 ET Drags, mounted on an 8" wheel worked best at 12.5psi cold.... You couldn't spin them no matter how hard you launched. 1.45-1.47 short times.

The slip on the right I left a little harder... It boggled my mind that I ran faster with less mph with a better 60'.. So now i'm thinking the car will go 11.70's-80's with some more seat time..

good to know.. I'm running them on a 10'' rim.. when my pressure was at 13 I had a good bit of sway.. but after a few passes learned how to control it more.. this last time around messed with the pressures more!!

How in the world are you picking up 27 mph on the back half?!

:shrug: this car has no intake, just an off road x pipe, mufflers and a tune
