I run mine at 19.5. A friend of mine who has more horsepower runs his at 15.
And I thought 2 litres was a bottle of soda pop !! It ain't cheating it's creative use of the rules.

I run mine at anywhere from 6 to 12 lbs but its all depending on the track surface, read it off your sixty foot times and total mph, more tire spin = more mph on the big end, less = better sixty foot times, now its which is getting you down the track quicker and safely
basically run as much as the car can hold and not spin out of the hole (within comon sense) we kept put more in until the car gets unstable or starts spinning(dropping sixty foot)

thanks
we leave in the morning for cordova, our last racing for the season, you are running et streets on that beast???I will start with 14lbs and drop from there,we will base line the car off the bottle with the new jetting, hoping to get a new best on motor before we WILL get a new best on bottle,changed to the 150hp jets,hoping to see a big change,,somewhere around 10.40's @ 130 and the sixty to drop into the 1.4's,,remember this car idles at 190 in 95' weather, and carries a full exhaust ,and is also streetable,

another benefit of fall racing ---- cooler ambient air temperatures!

When i lived up north I loved to take my car out for blasts in the winter (when the roads were clear and dry) . They seem to run so well in cool crisp air . Then again , it could have also been because I hadn't run it since the early fall :lol:

Have fun Charles!
