Default Tire pressure question

Has anyone has success using different pressures in the rear tires at the drag strip? If so which tire should have more? I think the right rear takes more load on launch, should it have more pressure?

You could try adjusting the right by about a pound or so to see if it makes any difference. The right side does take the load, but when you get to the top end of the track, that extra pound could cause it to sway.
The best bet is to keep a log book and record what difference that diff in tire pressure makes to both et and how the car drives.
