Well, i went to the 1/8th a couple weeks ago. best i got was 7.60 but my 60' times are suffering. There sitting around 2.1- 2.2. Ive been launching from 8k and slipping the clutch. I think i can feel the back tire slipping a bit. Should i drop rear tire pressure a little till it hooks up? If i get it to hook up it just pops a wheelie. I have a 01 f4i, any clue what i should be running? i was hoping for 7.40's or lower. my trap speed was around 102 if i remember. Also im running some new Pilot Powers, my psi is around 36 i think.

Too much rear pressure especially with the Powers. Start with a drop in rear pressure of 7 to 29.

Our '94 ZX6E (old numbers), with Rennsport RS2's @ 26 lbs., lowered but not stretched was sticking 1.67 - 1.71 60's with trap speeds between 97 to 101. It was also going out the back @ 7.15's - 7.20's in cool weather and 7.25's - 7.40's in warmer weather and trying different settings.
