Whatever tire psi gives you the best traction, and that depends on your power, your launch method, the amount of VHT on the launch pad, the weather conditions, etc etc. Start at 28psi and work your way down, but don't go too low unless you have access to compressed air.

Also depends on the type of tire you are running. A drag radial is going to be alot less then a street tire.

On my very first visit at E-town i ran the car with 40psi in all four tires... Better to spin than breaking something... However, even with 40psi tire pressure i cut 60ft 1.72sec on the stock clutch...

Nice!

I think I was down below 24psi on mine, stock tires & clutch. I ran a little more air in the front tires to keep it steerable on the back half lol
