Probably launch at about 2300-2500 RPM and vary it up and down from there depending on how it goes. I'd probably put the front tires up to about 40#'s and the rears down to 25, that's pretty standard on street tires.

Make sure to drive around the water box, don't roll through or you'll get water on your tires and track and kill your traction. I don't know how many people I tell this and they ignore me and then complain after their run that they had no traction.

The NHRA track I went to last month had it where you couldn't go around the water box(wet from side to side). I went ahead and burned them for about 5 seconds or so once passing through. My 60' times were all very consistant and decent(2.03-2.06)with 33 PSI in the rear radials. On my last run, just for the heck of it I really roasted them for about 15 seconds. My 60' time was still a 2.04. That track had really good prep and traction off the line was very good as I only spun just a bit. That was even revving it up to about 1700-1800 RPM(on the street I can spin all the way through first gear
