Re: SportFWD, what air pressure? (evil510)
be a leader not a follower. lol.
Use what works best. Most of them use like 5-8psi though before burnout.
But it really depends on track conditions, tire compound, sidewall, power, etc.
I just dont see why this was directed to that group. Anyone with slicks can tell you what they run and what works for them.

Let's just say, we (the company I work for) are working on something, more or less targeted at this group of racers and racers who fall in the range of HP, ET and tire size.
So knowing the market is important.
I know all those conditions are important, there are alot of variables, but a starting point/range will give us more knowledge.
ITR206, appreciate the help!
Anyone else?

Re: SportFWD, what air pressure? (evil510)
what are you trying to market if i may ask?
Edit I see you work for Toyo. I would be more clear on what your trying to do and Ive bene on you guys for years trying to get a decent slick size out of Toyo. Ive talked with a bunch of local reps for Sponsorships and stuff, and they were down, but could never supply me with anything needed, so i gave up.

Re: SportFWD, what air pressure? (itr206)
I know answering this question will boost my "credibility" because no one likes secrets, but unfortunately I can't.
Actually the answer is almost in plain sight.
Help is appreciated tho.
Thanks!

Can't be anymore clear than I have, maybe too clear.

Re: SportFWD, what air pressure? (evil510)
a lot of racers won't necessarily discuss this out in the open, why not try contacting them directly and having private conversations and probably have a little more luck getting the information you need.

Re: SportFWD, what air pressure? (evil510)
I understand. It makes sense now that i put 2+2 together and looked at your profile.
I think its a good idea and should have been done a long time ago.

Slick air pressure varies from car to car.
You got guys running the mid 10s and they can run on 10psi, and you have other cars that cant hook at all until 7psi.
We have been selling M&H slicks for several years and its been a good brand to use. Works all the time and great for FWD drag cars.
If you need some input, feel free to stop by our office.

Re: (exospeedAMcrx)
Tire size and car weight make a HUGE differance on air pressure. A 24.5
will need more then a 26 on the same car.
As a guide try 6-12 on a 24.5 and 5-10 on a 26. Assumeing a 2500-2600 pound
FWD car.

Lower on the larger 26"? Why is that?
