    OK, what pressure should I run in my liners on a 2055 Hoosier and why? This is in a screw blown door car. I have heard from 40 to 60 and every where in between.

    I run 50 psi all the time, I just don't like changing that variable. If I am having trouble spinning the tires, or hooking up too hard, I change the tire pressure.

    The liner pressure keeps the tire from blowing off the bead of the wheel, and also hopefully stops the tire from turning on the wheel. It is thought that the liner pressure can also affect subtelties on the launch, but as I said, I don't mess with it.

    I agree with 50 lbs. Never changed it either.

    Would the baby powder be better to use than the window cleaner?

    Pressure's

    Reading this post, follow suggestions from Ken, experienced guys may already know this, but when you set your pressures do make sure you set the inside (liner) first, then set your outside(tire) last. It make a huge difference, and those liners DO work (experienced). I think powder is better - tried both. Just my 1/2 cent (inflation you know) JK
