Default air presure tire report

i did a few tests with air presure and the gtech before the tranny died.

i ran 7psi of boost and 2wd. launching at idle by flooring it. all of my 60' times were similar. between 2.30 and 2.32sec. i didn't lose traction till about 1.6sec into the run so thats not too suprizing.

starting at 36psi then droping to 32 then 28 then 26, 24, 22, 20. reading the highest g forces on the gtech before traction was lost. at 32 my highest g was .60 and at 24psi i got up to .66g's then it droped after that. the results made sence so i think it was working. steadly more g's up to 24psi and then less as the presure got lower.

someone sugested tire presure in that area and it looks like that was a good sugestion. i can't wait to get back to the track to try it again. the run where i pealed out a long ways i really did hit it hard out of the hole. i did a big purge and even moved my seat up so i was sure to floor it as quick as i could.
