2.4 on a ET Street? I'd start by getting a good tire gauge that measures 0-25 lbs on a 3 inch gauge. If you are using a pocket model they arn't very accurate especially at low pressure. You need a good contact patch and you need the sidewalls to fold. What size tires are you using and what size wheel are they on?

just drop the pressure and buy a decent gauge to test with...and heat the snot out of it then let it rip, I launch at 5500+ with stock suspension on my 92 and et streets and it hooks good
