Put 44psi in the front tires and run the rears from 24-26psi you should hook better and the front with more airare less drag

yeah that is right but i never bothered putting more air to the front tires..they were always 30psi and i lowered my rear tire pressure to 20psi. so far best trap is 103mph and best ET is on sig.

they i launch is working great for me.. i get 2.0 or 1.9x 60' all the time.. i don't know how to explain, i can just do it.. you can slip the clutch and it will give you better 60' but i don't slip the clutch and i have cut countless of 1.9x and 2.0 60' by dumping the clutch on different tracks..just need to know how to use your legs.. basicle when i dump the clutch i hit the gas half way or less then (in less then a sec.) suddenly floor it and look ahead and see i cut 1.9x 60'
