Brad, I know a guy or two that use them but they are on heavier cars so I am not sure if the inflation would be meaningful.

If it were me, I would put 14 psi in both of them and do a burn out.  Then look at the stripe and see if it is evenly black all the way across.  If it is, I would call it good and worry about what flavor of sno cone I was going to order at the concession stand.  If not, I would adjust the pressure using the old standard.  Blacker in the middle means too much air pressure and take a pound out.  Blacker on the edges, not enuf pressure and add a pound.

Adjust until the color appears even all the way across and call it good

[Just a Six?]

Thats all I used back in the late 80's when I raced every weekend. They hooked good. I would go over to Niagra Falls & get them almost everytime we went to St Catharines to visit the wife's family.

Will do. The sidewall on these things are Godawful thin. They should hook. Relax Supersix. I only paid two hundred for them.

strictly track only...no street

I run it on the street with the 16" rims and street tires.
