Going to the Track tomorrow

Shaun03GT · October 29th, 2009, 04:01 PM

Sup guys, Im heading up to the track tomorrow. Last day its open til April

I have my own Nitto NT555rs. Im pumped, it'll probally be busy but as long as I can hit 5 runs Ill be happy.

I cut 1.9 60's on 30psi (yes 30psi) If you drop the psi down to like 16-18 wouldnt that make the car have more drag on it?? Because its not like a M.T were it has a thick sidewall. If yes or no what should I run the psi at?

Any guess's as to what Ill run? Im hoping for a 13.2-13.3. I hit a 13.408 with a half tank, and 20lbs of tools in my trunk. And on 30psi NT555Rs. So I figure Ill have a 1/4 tank roughly 24lbs shaved, and minus the tool bag. So thats 44lbs gone.

thats way too high even more nittos yo.. try 18 and go from there!

Shaun03GT · October 29th, 2009, 04:10 PM

lmao I figured. But like I said wont it cause drag? Because they dont have thick sidewalls like M.Ts or slicks

Boostang · October 29th, 2009, 04:29 PM

they wont sag enough to make a difference..

JoshC! · October 29th, 2009, 05:00 PM

last time i went to the track i dropped the pressure to 25 and hooked better.

suprajay79 · October 29th, 2009, 06:08 PM

I set my tire pressure on my 15 inch BF Goodrich at 17 and cut 2.0s...

Let's just say that was my best 60'. I guess that doesn't help you. It did yield my 13.85 though.

Shaun03GT · October 29th, 2009, 06:39 PM

Ill start at like 28 then work my way down. Hoping to cut atleast a 1.9..hopefully a 1.8

saxmanJJ · October 30th, 2009, 02:26 PM

15-16 PSI will work pretty well with those tires if you want some traction!(works for me) ...

AndrewA. · October 30th, 2009, 03:37 PM

My last run on my 555rs i didnt even touch them and did a 1.9/1.8 sixty. Im too afraid that if i let air out than it will grip too well and tear up my rear. Pansy i guess

I was worried about breakin stuff when I first went, but I just told myself, "if it breaks, well, shit. It breaks." I've had good luck so far- I powershift the living shit outta my tranny and launch out of the gate at about five grand.

ive got about 20 passes on slicks launching at 4500. So far no breakage..

mrbigjeep · October 30th, 2009, 11:10 PM

1.8 on 35 psi here too...and i wouldn't worry too much about breakage...

and you should have 13.2 with a 1.8...at least 13.3
