I figure that much, too. I could have launched betterbut I spun all 4 pretty badly almost everytime. Although, Im glad I didn't replace those all-season tires cuz it was wet the last few days.
As far as tire pressure, what is the lowest I can run at the strip without fear of a blow-out?

I think that it is on for this Friday at Montgomery Motorsports Park... I hope to break into the low 12's possibly the high 11's. We will know what we can do for sure in a few days.
People going to the Strip:
1) Me - '04 White EVO - Best 1/8 mile 7.82
2) Joe - '03 Yellow EVO - Best 1/8 mile 8.5 (Can't go)
3) Jerimiah - '05 White EVO - Best 1/8 mile 7.95
4) Comer - '06 WRX TR - Best 1/8 mile 9.1
5) Chris - '04 RX-8 -Best 1/8 mile Unknown?
6) Andy - Honda Accord 484 Fwhp
7) Slippen92 - Honda 500+ Fwhp

I am interested to see what your thoughts on this are.

Yeah thats a good point, you do get to run MAX timing on Race gas as well as leaning out your fuel, you were on the AFC at that point still right? Probably very close to HP with a slight nod to Nates car (this is a guess) so we will see what happens this Friday and let you know.

I do not turn the boost up as high as Turbo Trix said that I could which was 27psi. I daily drive it at 22.9psi and usually at the drag strip turn it up about 1-2psi to approximately 24-25psi.
