I am pulling tomorrow night and was wondering how much air I should run in my tires with 1400 lbs in the bed? I have 265 Mastercraft Courser A/t's. I pulled the other night with them @ 65lbs but with no weight in the bed (they wouldn't allow any weight), on a hard track and had no problem spinning. springs were clamped and T-bars lowered. predator on 100hp
before I got these tires I had no problem with the stock tires with 55 lbs in them and 1000 lbs in the bed. clamped and lowered with pup on 95hp
thanks George

Keep the rears high and drop the front to 30-40 depending on tire sidewall sag.

Got 3rd place 264.xx ft the sled was the OLD IRONSIDE. I think? can't remember for some reason. it was yellow and looked pretty good.
A guy with a dodge claimes he has over 500hp to the ground beat me by 2ft. he pulled 266.xxft he said he has different turbo, injectors, and pump. It smoked like a pro stock tractor.
So, I feel pretty good about what I got.
The Winner was a ext cab dually (LB7 I think) that smoked alil going down the track. I don't know his exact numbers but was only 15-20 ft, at the most, further down the track. his truck didn't squat a bit, must of had air bags or blocks.
We where all falling in the holes that the 28K at 24K lb front wheel assist classes made.
But I had a good time plus won $160 :ro)

I pulled for the first time last night, truck 7995# fronts down to 35#, bars cranked down, springs clamped, predator on 85 and enforcer on 150?, 3rd 4 low. It seemed like I was on the rev limiter in 3rd, I tried to feather the throttle a little to hold it but lost the boost and went 246. My buddy ran his stock 04 LB7 EC/LB same weight and prep no tuner and went 223 and told me he wasn't on the rev limiter.
I would have to say that I am hooked but my wife didn't find out I was pulling until about 15 minutes before :badidea::badidea:and she is not a happy camper. She says "never again $50K truck blah blah f#%$% up your gonna drive it broke BLAH BLA BLA." I guess we all have to learn some time to tell them in advance and deal with or let them find out later and deal with worse, because they always find out somehow. But we still gotta love em!!!
Sorry for the rambling:rant::rant:
