LMFAO... 18.5~19psi IS what I run in the tire pressure... lol

Boost is only at 15~16psi right now.



15psi in these tires is VERY low. I'm very surpised it works better at 15psi then it does at 18~20psi for you.

What suspension are you running?

Curious, what pressure are you running at the track?




18.5~19.0psi... Depending on how hard I'm trying to hit the tire.




I think he means tire pressure, get your head out of the boost box



We were running the tire pressure at 18.-19.0. The boost is much lower than that .

I'm running CalTracs with HD springs, Mopar Performance shocks. They are several years old and although they have decent tread, I'm thinking their age is a problem (and just now looking at the tread, I noticed some cracking in the tread grooves).

If the ugly vs cool scale ever tips the wrong way I'll be sure to let you know!

....all kidding aside I simply love that combo. Thanks for the updates. Would be fun to sit in the stands and listen to folks when you line up against other more popular cars.
