Subject: RE: DML: All my 1/4 mile times
The Guy that was running the Dynojet told me you should have Maximum air
pressure in your tire when pulling the dyno. Low tire pressure will produce
drag and lower output numbers. I had just let my air down to 25 psi and he
said my numbers would have been higher had I not done that.
I'm gonna pull again soon, with full air pressure and see if he was right.
When I was pulling my tires were wrinkling bad because of the low pressure.
I guess Sam is talking about increased traction do to lowering the PSI in
the tire??

Sam, would this work for the Dyno run or at 25lb that Matt did his Dyno run
with?

Was 32 originally (right off the street). Dropped it to
18... That seems to be the magic number for everyone.
