What psi in ET street slicks?

[Loco5.0]

I've read so many different numbers. :o

I know it will vary by car, but I wanted to get a general idea.


I have been running anywhere from 15 to 18 psi in mine. My best 60' (1.8) came at 15 psi. I'm wondering if I should try 18 again or maybe even a little higher.

Also, are long or short burnouts best for these tires?

I am running MT ET drags so they are a little different. I run 12 psi in mine with a best 60 of 1.6 I would do a long burnout on those type of tires. They are still designed to get traction when they are hot

10-12 pounds ! if they are not walking on the big end when you let out there not low enough......

I assume your running tubes?

Only 1 of them has a tube in it. Why just 1? Had a small hole in it so I patched it & tubed that tire. Never got around to doing the other tube.

Me and all my friends start at around 16psi and work down accordingly to track conditions and make notes in a log book, track temp temp outside crap like that. launch hard walk at the end
