Stock tires: 29 psi all around.

17" rims
215/45 Z rated Nitto tires

recently switched from 31 psi rear, 29 psi front
to 34 psi rear and 36 psi front - dailey driving

I've also read the 240sx.org faq.  Just wanted to know about everyone elses set up.

I haven't raced YET but I hear for auto-x 40psi all around is ideal for rwd cars.

40 isn't too high...36/38 is my cold temps...it usually ends up around 40/42 by the end of the run.

I didn't see specific drag racing tips, but the tips they give will still apply.
