Tire pressure would be the easiest one keeping your current tires. Try starting around 25lbs and I wouldn't recommend going much lower than 23lbs unless you are running a drag radial with a soft/wrinkle sidewall.

You can go ahead and get R-compounds if you want, but they will not be good for drag racing and they will wear out in a few thousand miles.

Hmm, do R Compounds have to have a stiff sidewall? Toyo RA-1's I believe are R compounds and have soft sidewalls, thats why they can bubble easy and wear away very fast. People get maybe 10k miles on RA-1's.

I already told you that I hit consistent 1.9s and a best of 1.81 on my FWD Eclipse GS-T, but if you think the BFG "r compound" is better, then get those. Come back and show us your 1.7 60's on BFG R compounds. Why is this so difficult?
BFG R Compounds are Drag Radials, My friend uses them on his RS60T 97 GST Spyder.
