Thanks Ray.

I actually did play with the pressures - it turns out I've been driving around at 40 psi cold. I lowered my pressures to 32-35 (gauge was super erratic for whatever reason), and that was when I got my 13.5. The launch was around 4.5 to 5k, it didn't hop nearly as much as it did before, and after a bit of wheelspin, it took off like a rocket. Felt much more connected to the ground by a long shot.

My buddy was recommending pressures as low as 25 - I was gonna give it a shot, but that was when I had to help my stricken friend and his broken car.
