So being the complete track noob that I am, I decided to take my car up to GLD on Wednesday night. Ran 7 or 8 times, my best run was my first run.
On the first run I basically let go of the brake and mashed the go pedal. The rest of them I was trying to give it various levels of gas ahead of time, though that mostly resulted in assorted wheel spin and/or wheel hop drama.
Anyways, I intend to go back again, and I have a couple of questions.
1. I'm still running my original Potenzas, which are around 5 years old at this point, and left them at stock PSI. I'm assuming I should lower that? What's a good place to be? 30-35 PSI?
2. Should I even bother trying to raise my RPM before launch? Or does this mainly depend on how much grip or lack there of I'm getting?
I am planning on getting a staggered setup this year with probably some Pilot Super Sports in a 275 for the rear, hopefully that will result in better grip.
Hints or tips appreciated!
Here's the slip:
