Reaction Time Problems

Less air = more wrinkle= slowerer vehicle reaction. But I prefer to keep rear tire pressure where it provides the best contact patch.

agree, i went to a 29 inch front tire and for me 500 rpms is about .02 and 10 psi up or down should be around another .01, cosistant staging helps and if your using a 2 step or trans brake try blocking the bottom works for me great in ss not so much in stock, ive played around with blocking the other side and the middle amber in stock but its still hit or miss mostly, depending on roll out i can be .03 or better blocking and consistant but blocking if you miss it it will really show, and im with Myron, Mr. Beard can add some other tips i always use his advice and its paid off great

All, thanks for the replies. Will try the easy and free things first. Thanks again for the advise.

Closing one eye helped me, but make sure you close your dominate eye. I also pick a spot on the light bezel not the light itself. I also have a toe hook on my throttle pedal that I lift my foot up against. I can adjust how far away my foot is by changing how far away the hook is.
