It's not really good for 'historical' like the dragtimes site is but when you are sitting there it's pretty useful.

I could try 28 but when I first started racing the car I aired them down too much and it was bogging the car and I couldn't get away from the high 13's so I usually try to run as much air in the back as I can without spinning. I did hear a little squeak on the runs so maybe I'll try going down a little more. I think it's just the weather, it was pretty chilly when I ran my best time and I wasn't hooking perfectly either

Yea it's all trial and error with the air pressure. My wife's SS likes 26 psi. 1.9 sixtys all day at that pressure. My old neon was good at about 30 PSI and getting 2.1 sixtys. Your 2.0 sixtys are solid.

Definitely makes a difference IMO. Pump up the fronts and find the sweet spot for your rears I try to run as much as I can get away with. Buddy emailed a few vids from the starting line I'll post them up tonight after work
