i set mine at about 22-24... my best 60 is a 2.06 , but usually a 2.1x .. i launch at about 4500 , kinda feather it off the line...

they're saying this b/c most civics/integras don't have LSD's, this helps even out the traction so one wheel doesn'wt spin as much as the other. i'd keep them both the same if you have an R or a car with LSD.

22 psi is fine, they are not slicks, the side walls are not gonna wrinkle.. they are too stiff.. set them at 20 if you want, practice your launch, that is most important..... race as much as you can... practice makes perfect.... well almost... good luck
