Getting a new set of Drag Radials today!!

[svt04cobra]

Can anyone with a newer cobra give me some pointers?? I need to know a what tire pressure to run with my drag radials, at the track, and also what RPM do you shift at, and do you bang the gears(don't take your foot off the gas, and just hit the clutch and shift.) or do you just shift fast?? Any pointers would be great!!!!!

Is there anyone with a newer cobra that races that can chime in????

Mine isn't new enough to really compare; I'm down on hp compared to you by a big chunk, & I have a solid rear axle compared to your IRS. I drop mine down to 18psi, do a long burnout, & give it however much RPM it'll take. I've had a hard time finding the sweet spot in this car; I don't get much room between bogging & spinning.

So, in conclusion, my response doesn't do you a whole lot of good. If Uncle Meat doesn't reply, maybe drop him a PM, he's got an '03 (I don't know if he's running drag radials, though).
