What track ya going to? IRP hasn't been so great for traction so far this year. I run Goodyear 10" slicks and can't find traction anywhere from 10-12.5 psi. Good luck!!!

Not going to IRP yet just want to run it for the first time with the new combo. I'm looking at going to Bunker Hill 1/8th mile since its a mile from the house

I ran around 18# on with the stock 7" GN wheel. My best 60' was 1.75 with an average in the low 1.9's. (Went to Hoosier QTP's and average mid 1.6's with a best of 1.56)

XLR8--How much tire pressure in the QTP? Heavy or light burn out? How many # boost launch? Reason for questions is I just got a set.

Don't mean to highjack this thread.

I run between 14# and 17# in the tires depending on the track conditions - the colder it is the lower the pressure. I guess a medium burn-out. I burn-out until I see smoke from both mirriors and then let of the line-lock and roll out about 5' before I lift. I launch with between 10# & 14# of boost off of the foot brake. Tire size 27x10.5 (it's really a 9" tire) on cheap 8" cirlce track wheels.

Thanks. I also have the 27x10.5 so I will try as you suggest.
