For regular street radial tires I wouldn't go below 18psi. Besides it really doesn't help that much on street radials. Play with the timming. Put 93 in it and start out at 14* and bump it up inbetween runs until it starts pinging then go back down a tad. Don't shock the tires try and ride the clutch until you get out then hammer it! Take the spare tire, jack, and the back seat if you're feeling froggy!
