Front tire pressure adjustments

A brake pressure switch will work for some, not for others. When I tried one on my Skyhawk, I found out I don't pull my foot up consistently off the brake pedal. Way too much variable with reaction times, went back to button in pedal. Was between .008 and .036 in six runs today testing.

Trust me from 40-17 works. It's worth about .012-.015

yep -- it does work ---not sure how much on everyone's car but on 3 specific cars I have seen it will slow down the reaction time--- not going to give you any numbers but it did change the RT

I would make sure that 17 psi tire was on the inside at the turn off.

I'm thinking the reason the reaction changed is because the car will sit lower with less air in the tires, meaning it'll take more movement, rotation (time) for car to react.
