I got 3 passes in and blew the first 2 passes trying to learn how to launch these BFG drag radials. Then the third pass i launched like an old man and got a little grip and managed to get out of the 14s finally. Then coming around to get my slip they told me i needed a helmet or i was done for the night so i was done and couldn't better the 13.82. I know it's got 13.50s or better in it if i can launch it and get the 60' under 2.0. To add insult to the helmet thing my traction lock took a dump on me as you can see in the video.

So anyone wanna give some tire pressure advice? I really didn't know what to set them at or what to launch at and my first pass was at 25psi and i just dropped the hammer at like 4k RPM and blew them to pieces. That last pass i think was around 20psi and i launched around 2k and feathered the gas off the line.

I think i ran around 15 psi in my MT slicks,so im pretty sure you can drop them a little more to around 15.My buddy ran those on his at the time 64 shoebox nova.it ran 12.56 with a N/A 327 all day long.But he had to roast the hell out of them to get them to hook up.

What size are they. If 15", you should be starting around 12 psi.

The reason your launches sucked what the one wheel peel, get the rear fix and then get to play with air pressures :)

Not sure on the BFGs. On my MTs I have to run 14 or less. They don't hook well above that for me.
