start at 20psi and work you way down. Feel it out!!! Start at 2k rpm and work you way up until you feel the tires are not grabbing anymore.

Hate to sound like a tool.
You might want to go with a 3/4 throttle run first to get a feel for it you being TT and all.
Then go for a full run once you are at least kind of used to them..
DR are a little floaty and it may weird you out.

Start at 20PSI like advised above.
LEt us know what you run, very anxious to hear!

Depending on the track prep start at the 20psi. Some of us have dropped the psi as low as 14. Do a good 5 sec burnout to heat the DR's up.

Any DR I've used will bog until 4500-5000 rpm's.

Start there or your just whistling dixie!
