I'll creep up on it next time I have the car out and see if there is any improvement. -Dustin 67 Dart, 9 second, 392" G3 Hemi 68 Barracuda 340 F/SA

True to a point... higher pressure will usually give it more MPH but if it spins that doesnt matter... I use to video every pass when the wife would go with me to the track... I would watch each pass on the TV I had in the trailer... I watched them frame by frame to see what it was really doing... a quartering shot from the rear worked best so I could see the front and rear tires... I use to vary my tire pressure about 1/2# max for different track conditions ... now I need to start doing the same thing on the Rampage to get the best launch... this will be a first for me to footbrake... I havent done that in over 20 years

I'll play with tire pressure and possibly some other things to see if I can make it better. -Dustin 67 Dart, 9 second, 392" G3 Hemi 68 Barracuda 340 F/SA
