You guys make an "adjustment" when the air become hot and soupy like in summer?

I'm running the liteweight Hoosiers, 92.5 X 9.00 hard compound @ 21psi on F/SA 71 Olds 442. I have 20 psi in rt airbag, 5 psi in left. Seems to hook OK, but I'm working on the power end of the equation right now.

I would like to know what you have for the A-Arms and links in the front suspension, I need my fronts to hang straight like yours, not splayed from camber change.

Thanx,

I bought my 9" radials from Hoosier at the track and their rep's said to start at 21lbs for my 3450lb Ply.

Not radials but maybe you guys can help me out here. I run 26x10 Hoosier slicks. I had my 7" cutlass rallys widened to 9" for a better footprint. Now I don't know where to go as far as air pressure. My 9" slicks on 7" rims liked about 18lbs, but these don't. It hooks the best at about 12.5 lbs. Am I going in the right direction or should I try a lot more air in these slicks? Car with me in it is 3960lbs.
