Default could lowering the tire pressure got me a 13 sec run???

went to the track for the first time with my turbo d16z6 at ~9psi. Anyways, I was so excited about running the I ran with ~32psi in all the tires. The results were as follows...

60' 2.58
1/8 9.6
1/8mph 83
1/4 14.3
1/4mph 105mph

If I would have ran like 20psi in the fronts and like 45psi in the rear could I have gotten in the 13s?

yeah even on street tires, you can defently get the 60fts lower to about a 2.1-2.2. What kind of tires are you running and try them at around 25 and work your way down

Iam running on 205/40-16s that were on the car when I bought it. They are a little worn out and looks almost dry rotted on the sidewalls.
