I run 24 and run 1.9's with the brakes not holding to launch (almost from idle). 30 seems a little high for the track IMO.

I gained about a tenth of a second going from 27 to 23 psi, but most guys run them in the 12-18 psi range. I didn't get enough runs to lower the pressure further, but I sure was happy with a 1.84 short time.

ok thanks a lot for the replies guys- l appreciate it, I've got comp t/a's to back up the power from my ZZ4 with 3.73's 2,500 RPM stall, and it burns em all the way through 1st and part of 2nd- l didn't think that the ZZ4 was too much motor for those tires, and l burn em at about 24-25 PSI on the street, so l just thought ld ask you guys your opinion.
thanks again
thanks again
