Default Advice on launching!!!!

To shoot out of the whole badass moreless what rpm's should i b launching at? And where should my nitto's DR psi be? I have ran a best of 13.4 on the G-tech launching at 1500 rpm's at 40 psi running 93 fuel and having an extra passenger (170lbs). And b4 that run i had a couple runs of 14.2's - 14.4's. Last nite i had regular fuel running with same passenger and lauching at 1500rpms at 14 psi pulling a 13.6, 14.4 and 14.2. Any suggestions?

Drop the tire pressure to 18psi and launch at 4000 rpms.

advice? G tech does not count.

Those DR could probably use a tad more psi. Best way is to just test it out at a TRACK and see what combos get you to hook.

Get a stall.

Drop the PSI, I run 21 pounds in mine.

Go to the track, G-tech = fail.

my nittos say 44psi MAX PRESSURE!!!, there is a big difference between max pressure and max performance. The tire isn't intended to wrinkle (this is why I don't see a need in running 16psi like some people), I found that my best tire pressure at the track was 21.5 psi. Keep in mind that every car and track are different so there is no "no size fits all", but I can tell you that I hook good enough to pull a wheelie and have also slipped the tire on the rim. I knows this b/c before going to the track I had to have a rear tire patched, they marked the tire where the valve stem was and when I got back from the track I noticed it had shifted.
