If you are into racing and have an automatic tranny and rear coil springs -
Brake-torque the truck and do a burn out. Look at the rubber you left on the road. Keep experimenting with tire pressure until you get the most complete patch that you can. That's the air pressure you want.
Install an air bag in the right rear coil spring. Put a carpenter's level on the rear bumper. Have a buddy watch the level while you brake-torque the truck. Experiment with the air pressure in the bag until the level stays level.
Nittos (sp?) are a great street/strip tire.
ET = Traction. MPH = HP. (sorta)
All the horsepower in the world don't mean diddly if you don't have traction.
