practice, practice, practice... you can't expect a great overall run the first few times you go to the track...

With your setup (at least in your post) I'd launch at a higher RPM prolly around 4500-5000. You'll want spinout up to about your 60ft mark... Depending on what actual Falken tire you have, I'd just keep the tire pressure at the normal street driving pressure (32-42psi) because flattening a street radial out isn't going to help you that much, if not worsen your times.. (I've ran my stockers between 15-35psi and I averaged the same 60's launching at the same rpm almost every time.. only thing changed was my MPH got slower as I went flatter. So I'd personally keep the tire pressure normal so your MPH will be higher). However, if you have the Azenis tire, I'd lower that particular tire pressure down to 20-22psi and drop at an even higher RPM (I drop at 5500-6000 on mine.) because those particular tires seem to hook up farely well on the strip. Go AROUND the water pit, and just do a quick chip/spin before you stage to clean the rocks off.
