So you want to know how much air and what sort of 60ft's you'll run on a 20-8-14 slick.. I would say run between 7-10psi and you'll run around 1.8 60ft's on road tyres I'd run around 14-20psi and hope for 2.0-2.3 60ft depending on your suspension, power, car weight..
But I ran 2.1 60ft's on 205-50-15 road tyres in a ZC powered EF7 crx and ran 14.6 1/4's at 95-98mph

try 12-14 psi. I wouldnt go any lower or you could bent a wheel or roll the bead off the rim. I would say 1.9 60ft depending on your suspension.

I think alot of that depends on if you have traction bars etc made up for your cars.. But you want the back as hard as you can get it really, and the front needs to be low and adjustable so you can spend a day changing the set-up to find the best setting for your car..

whats a traction bar? is that a strut bar or what? and do you think a 1.8 60'ft. is still possible with coil overs?
