What kind of pressure were you running in those slicks? Looked to be like 5lbs to me :o
Everyone comes up to me and says "hey man your slicks are way too low". When i went and ran my best pass of the night. The guy at the starting line was telling me i didnt know what i was doing. That pass i had a 1.6 60ft. Most people dont understand FWD. The slicks are desighned that way for tire flex. Thats how you hook up in a fwd car. A 1.6 on 22inch slicks is great on a fwd car. To answer you question yes you need between 5-7lbs or air. After the burn out the tire pressure rises about 2 degrees. Belive me i look at my slicks and say damn they look flat. I was told thats what works so i tryed it and it works

I think TAWS6 is going to need a reverse hanns device and additional head rest supports if he launches any quicker. That launch in front of me tonight was out of control. Good job buddy. JLsilver sounds like you may be experiencing the same once you get those slicks on. Track day should be awsome if you guys keep at it.

Not true I drive an import. I think you may have been thinking of the ricers that have a tendency to rear there ugliness into perfectly good threads.
