This was on stock suspension when the motor was making 375rwhp 380ft/lb. I ran 16psi in them and had to put a TON of heat into the tires to get them to hook.

I started at 18 and went all the way down to 9. But I'm pushing well over 400 at the rear. I may go with Mickey thompsons I heard alot of good things about their new D/R.
