I have ordered a set and have never used any type of slick before.
1. what air pressure should I start with?
2. what type of burnout do you reccommend?

 

Start with 17 psi

First couple runs do a nice 15 sec burnout to break em in.. Then depending on track prep ( which in CA doesnt exist ) a simple 4 second haze job might only be needed. No 30 second John Force burnouts though, youre just wasting rubber.

 

They bite hard,hope you have traction bars,I had all kinds of wheel hop

 

I have Trucktraks and drive shaft loop. What technique do you use to launch?

 

It all depends on the track prep.

I drive around the water box and back into the water, then I do a 5-7 second burnout to heat the tires up. It may take 2 0r 3 runs for the tires to really work.

I would first try to launch at about 1200 rpm's and see how they bite. If that works ok go to 13-1500 and see how that works, I launch at 1800 rpms, but I have a 2400 stall torque converter.

 

I use Truk Tracks, 16PSI and try dropping the PSI when I think it might help. (Notice caveat/oxymoron...'I think') Dunno yet for sure, except these Hoosiers make me more of a man than.. well...much better than F1's....
