Welcome CTP...
Are you running DOT tires or racing tires? Beadlocks?
A good starting point for either would be 16 psi on the driver's side, 18 on the passenger side. You can then dial it in from there. Buy a pyrometer (cheap on ebay) and learn how to take / read tire temps. Tire temps will tell you what your car is doing and what it needs, as far as pressure, spring rates, camber, etc.
Good luck, let us know how you do!

Good job! The important thing right now is being consistent and faster each week. When you get to the point you feel like you have maxed out on speed, and the car is handling nearly perfect, then its time to start building a bigger motor!  |
