Drag racing tire pressures for standard radial tire
Just wondering what all of you drag racing 1st gen guys run for tire pressures at the strip. Launching technique RPM etc....
I haven't ever raced my 1st gen at the dragstrip and I was called out by a friends 89 sohc (vtec) civic of all things. I need make this guy look bad folks! Help me out... Cars suspension is pretty much bone stock. Rear sway bar was removed. BAtter moved to the rear. Some monster 195 60 r13 Sumitomo's in the rear. I was planning on 60psi up fron and maybe around 18ish in the rears?
Hoping for a 15.99! That should do it... Car has 85k orig miles, very healthy condition. Smog equipment and cats are gone. E-fan. K&N filter and hacked up open element OEM filter canister. Spare jacks etc have been removed. Plan on running gas down to 2 gallons or so.
Exhaust has been slightly played with. RE header and expansion pipe going into a small 2.5"silencer and then attacked to OEM exhaust piping and muffler. I know it's restrictive but I drive this car daily and I wanted it quiet.(...ish)
