i didn't find any recommedations except you can go lower than 25 with the DRs at the track, so i guess i will have to experiment a little. i used the same as you did last time, i might go a little lower and see what it does

 

Interesting. I wonder if anyone on this or another forum might have any experience with this?

 

i searched here, didn't come up with much yet.

 

I just did the same. Looks like one fellow running 24 pounds. He was blown running in the 11's. One post said the key with the Nittos is a real good burn out to get them real hot. So the line lock might be a great help.

 

ask a few people at the track

 

I will be at the QT at 6:45 ready to roll.my cell--695-5790.When i run the gto at the track i run 22 lbs.Don't get to low on air,if you hook hard you can slip the tire on the wheel,not a pretty site.My best times with the gto are with my regular radials,no burn out and no water box 28 lbs of air.

 

Im running 35lbs on my stock BFGs

 

Hey Doc what kind of Nittos are they?? 555r's??

 

goodmornin people!

 

yes they are the 555r drag radial, i searched several sites and they run anywhere from 16 to 24 with them. of course we are checking the pressure on a hot tire when we let the air out, i am sure the numbers are wrong.

 

cool, i will meet you there.

do you have slicks on the gto?

 

Well i did a little research on them last night and I agree with David on this one... have to get them HOT...and they should work a lot better. I also read that the air temp at the track also plays a role in what tire pressure to use.... sometimes 18 would work and sometimes 22 would be best... all depends... you just need to play with it at the track

 

i will play with it before the track, at the track and after the track

 

I play with it all the time ....

 

gross!

 

Dangit its contagious!!

 

This is sweet!!

 

Poor kids...

 

I sold the slicks a few years back,and retired the gto.The 1/4 panel would buckle and i got tired of redoing them.It's more of a street car now.They need to get those kids off the turd that chester cheetah poopied out.

 

Fn A its FriDaY woooohoooo long week
