marlon's car is a B20 with nitrous and he has atleast 250hp with all the mods he has. Anyways, lets stop beating around the bush, list your setup. Unless u spray a descent shot of nitrous at low rpm, I dont see that happening.

why would you lower the tire pressure on street tires??? that actually gives u worse traction due to the fact that street tires have a stiff side wall unlike drag radials and slicks that are soft... what that means is if u lower the pressure in street tires, the sidewall just bows out a little and the actuall tread patch goes in which causes u to just be running on the outer walls of the tire and not the entire tread patch.... now with drag radials or slicks, when you lower the pressure the sidewalls either crinkle or go in so you still maintain the full contact patch, and it actually makes that patch wider...

my suggestion to you is to invest in some nittos or bfg's and lower them to around 15 psi and if you chose to buy slicks, get the size that best suits your power and your needs... you cant use the same slicks that you would run on an all motor car as you would a nitrous or turbo car.... do your research and find the best tire to suit your needs or pm me with your setup and i will give you some good suggestions... I have done tons of research and talked to alot of very knowledgeable people so trust me i know my shit in this department....

oh yeah, and if you chose to run street tires, run them at their suggested inflation to make sure you get the best full contact....

hope that helped cuz it sure made my hands tired...
