Always look forward to this classroom on Tuesday morning. I have my notebook out. Project 6.0SS will be on the street soon

Went to 315 from slicks. Went from 1.08 to sub 1.00s at 2900 lbs

I've said it on another video but legit these T.T.T. Videos have taught me much.

We are running Hoosier radials on one car and Mickey on the other and it seems like the MT like a pound or pound and a half more pressure. Both similar weight and power f body's, for guys running different brands. Great video.

A lot of people ignore the front tires. I use minimum of 45psi in the front, The car rolls better and I always run faster with the higher pressures.

[bartpang]

On 315s we ran down to 14psi on a 3300lb car and some of the light cars down to 12. On 275s we are in the pressures you are suggesting.

Good info!
I just bought my 1st pair of drag radials and this helped out alot
Ill start at 15psi cause my car weights around 2200lbs

[BoostedRide]

It's just like a Tuesday morning wake up call getting the motion raceworks alert

[camelracing]

nice we set them at 11 and after the burn out goes up to 16 psi and works great in 1968 camaro

[Madmalchen]

What about drag radials with a low profile side wall such as 285 35 19 with a 3900 lb car same pressures or higher

[sigbaconater]

Wish I knew this before I sent my Hoosier slick radials at 31 PSI dropping clutch at 4k expecting them to dead hook LOL, I ran a 2.7 60’. Looks like I got to deflate.

[poosx]

Im pretty sure a slick likes to be planted also, just not as drastic and hard as a radial. You dont NEED less than 100% antisquat(squat) for a slick to work. A lot of small tire no prep/low prep guys have a lot of success running more than 100% antisquat(seperation) on a small tire slick car.

[mikehoffman]

Thanks for making the video, very helpful.

[JohnTaylor-khsv]

Can you please do a video on how to pick the right turbo for your size of engine please

[thesquirrelchroniclesakare]

How much air for daily driver 305/45/17 nitto

[r.k]

Hi, I have 370z and is low powered car so I don't care about traction at take off. I want to go roll racing where it's cruising at about 30mph then taking off at the green light. Some people say a higher tire pressure give me faster time to the finish line because it will have lower rolling resistance etc but other people say a lower tire pressure will give me faster time because the rolling circumference is smaller. I don't know what to do? Can you give me your advice please, thanks
