people usually put the fronts to 40-45PSI the rears depend on how your launching. you want a low enough pressure thay you don't spin on launch, but enough pressure that it dosen't slow you down going down the track. I personally go with 30 in my rear. thats what my tires like.95 Firebird<br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/673250\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/673250</a> <br /> <a href=\"http://photobucket.com/albums/y217/andrewbrandon19/\" target=\"_blank\">http://photobucket.com/albums/y217/andrewbrandon19/</a> <br /><br />me on a good day------> <a href=\"http://communicatio.webblogg.se/images/wet_cat_113159625.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">linky</a>

I ran 28 psi on a street radial tire.
It is trial and error to find out the perfect psi for your car.

I used to go 40-45 in front and 25-30 in the back on street tires.
Just pull the sway bar.

Definitely get the fronts up to 50-60 psi while running, don't take the rears lower than ~26.

55ish in the front, depending on how good my tires are...
usually 28-32ish in the rear, depending on the tire, usually 32 though.-Eric<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/mustangeater82\" target=\"_blank\">2000 NBM V6 Camaro 5-speed</a> T-top <i>converted</i><br /><b>14.467@95.45mph</b> <i>$0 in mods</i><br /><i>The member formerly known as MustangEater8251</i>
