Well guys, I figure I might try and go to MIR for import vs domestic this weekend if I get a chance. Are there any pointers before I take the truck down the track? I normally drive around on 35psi so I am figuring I should drop it to 30psi. Also, I know burn outs are a no-no on stock trannies and I think break boosting is a no-no also. Any help is much appreciated.

that is true, but isn't warm rubber stickier then cold rubber. when its winter the tires are cold and hard but in summer the durometer gets softer. from what i have heard the reason you don't want to do a burn out with street tires is once you warm them up and then they cool down the rubber will get harder then it was before, but it should still soften with heat.

Street tires are designed NOT to heat up and smoking them will just make them greasy.

iamwithstupid.gif Agreed, heating up street tires is counter productive. I have experimented with this and have found that heating up street tires in the water box causes them to become slimy and will make you "blow the tires off" when you launch more often then not. I know I am late to this as you were probably already at the track, but the best way for you to launch is probably off an idle(partly because of your mods) IMO....
