If they are the drag radial nittos i would start at 15 and go from there. If not the drag radials go with 21 ish

start at 15-19 psi and adjust if necessary.....[8D]

yeah i like 18-ish on my mickey radials

heat them up really good and try launching at 3000-3500 , if you spin real bad either drop pressure or heat them up more.

don't be satisfied til you get 60 foots of 1.8 or better
