Re: Front tire pressure adjustments
That's pretty high, but not crazy. Lowering the pressure will slow your reactions, but there isn't a ton there if you are keeping the pressure within reason.
I run 32-35 psi in my 3600# Super Street car. I typically bracket race it, and use starting line RPM to adjust reaction rather than tire pressure. I can't tell if your question is: 1. I run 40 psi in my tires and I think it might be too high, but what will happen to my reaction times if I lower the pressure? 2. I need to slow my reaction times. Will lowering the pressure in my front tires accomplish this? If #1, I'd probably drop 5 psi and you likely won't notice the difference. If #2, I'd still drop 5 psi, but you'll get more change in R/T through RPM adjustment or rear tire pressure.

More in lowering rear tire pressure so they wrinkle more.

Re: Front tire pressure adjustments
I am trying to slow my reaction time down. When I am green it is is about a 015-020 But I go red alot by about .012-.015. Don’t win many races when you go red. Just trying to slow down reaction time without changing my spot on the tree. I might need to lower both front and rear tire pressure. I know I could lower my starting line rpm some as well. Just try to see what you guys think the best way to do it is.
