FYI, 25 psi seems to be the sweetspot for my Z. You lose a little mph when you drop the rear tire pressure but get better traction (and hopefully a better ET). It sometimes helps to pump up the air pressure in the front tires to help weight transfer. Just practice, see what whats and doesn't, that's what makes it fun.
Ok I'll see what I can do. Going a bit earlier this time so I can get some more runs in. I'll see what I can do with normal tire pressures first and then start lowering if needed. So with the better traction of lower tire pressure, should I be launching at a slightly higher rpm? At normal pressured the sweet spot seems to be around 1500 rpm for the 7AT.
