Lowest air pressure in a drw puller

[Ford15]

What are some of the lowest air pressures you have run your tires at? Also what increments are you changing the pressure at?

 

[zstroken]

I have been down to 12 psi.

Depending on your hp and torque...I run between 16-18 in front and 32-36 in the rear depending on track....

 

[Ford15]

That's lower then I expected. Was it a real loose track ?

 

[Teamfreeman04]

Sticky for me, clay.and watered between pulls

 

[Ford15]

That's why I'm asking questions. I seem to be blowing the tires off, I just don't want to go to low and possibly bounce.

Are you guys running real low pressure also running bead locks.to keep the wheel from spinning in the tire?

 

[Ford15]

No bead locks for me just wondering if you run dual tires how low is safe. For instance I've been down to 25psi with a sin

 

[Ford15]

I meant 25psi on srw

I'm no expert, but it sure looks like you could ride the clutch out more. Get some track speed under the truck

That track had zero bite... Or the truck didn't.

With the chain being as high as it is on the sled your gonna have a hard time getting it moving.

Chain looks to be pretty high up and long. And like mentioned above ride that clutch out.

Brush pull. Crap track and junk sled. Try a good track on a Love sled.

That sled is a pos! With the chain like that, good way to overs spin the motor and melt it down. If that's your only option for a sled there I feel sorry for you.
