Launching on street tires at the strip
Hey guys long time no see! I've been busy having kids and the Pontiac has been collecting dust. A work contact invited me to the test & tune for free at bandimere speedway outside of Denver in the Mile high air (or lack thereof)..
I have run my car up there several times in the past and HAD some slicks but they are long gone... Car has a set of radial tires and a healthy 455 and has been running well for years since the last iteration of upgrades. I'm going to dust her off, check the timing and let-er-rip! I will probably get at least 5 passes. I'm just going out for fun but would like to avoid completely blowing the tires off John force style .  Any suggestions as to how I might salvage a respectable ET? Tire pressure? Launch technique? I've never run at the strip on radials. Combo is in my signature... Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
