I would say a 16.7 . And for the tire pressure, it all depends on the track really. If it is a well maintained race track and alot of rubber, you will not have to run your tires near as low as you would if the track sucked. And leave in between the second and third yellow.

HOWEVER, the 3K with slip I might try to avoid straight spinning at the line. It seems as though it may work well, but I have a late spooling turbo so who knows. The launch advice I gave is just expierence and what not that I have had. N/A I used to launch at 3500. Try a few spots. Remember though slipping 3K and dumping 3K are two TOTALLY different styles and outcomes. Good luck and post back with results.

i should be there to. the track has shitty prep so lower you tire pressure. i launched at about 5.5k at our track here but they have really good prep. i would go practice like for the 3 nites before if our car can take it. im practice some this week. that is wat i wish i would have done the lst 3 times at teh track practice before i went so i could have everything down. i should see you there shithatch
