I just bought a set of M&H slicks. They are 24.5x8.5x13" and I was wondering what would be a geed pressure to start at. The car is a 2000 EX coupe w/ a built turbo motor. It has an LSD if that makes a difference. This is my first time running on the slicks so any input would be great. Thanks

i dont know where to tell you to start because i had great coaches start me off.

you need to find the line where it doesnt bog and doesnt spin. i run 6.25 - 6.5 psi +-

start a little higher and see how it feels up top.

i would say start at 9-10lbs and work your way down from their, if you have a 2 step i would set it around 6500 and work it up or down from their.

Do you know how to preload?

For starting out I agree at least 10psi. You want to get used to the bite before you lower the pressure and risk breaking something.




Earl, thanks for all you did for us, "all of us". You'll live on in our memories. No one could ever replace you. RIP

Yes I understand a little bit about pre-loading. I am just going to have to see what she does on the track. The fastest I have been down the 1/4 mile was a high 13 in my friends WRX. So I am not sure how the thing is going to react going as fast as I think it will go. I am hoping to get into the 12's to start on moderate boost levels. I am ordering all of the safety gear next week. Roll bar from Autopower, new Sparco seat, 5 point harness, Sparco suit, gloves, helmet, shoes, neck brace, and so on. I have to admit that I am a little nervous w/ all of the pre-loading, 2 stepping, 60 ft times, ect. Thanks for the advise on the pressure settings. I am also ordering a 0-15 psi gauge to really dial in the pressure.
