41/IN Tonight (Friday8th) Launch Suggestions?

Well, I will be there tonight. Kind of early so I have the tree and times.

Any suggestions on launch? I have #4 lower pulley, Exhaust, Shift Kit, and Diablo Sport Chip. Should I warm the tires up as normal? Should I 'brake' launch @ a certain RPMs or mash the pedal in the start? Or I read before, let into it easy, half pedal, then mash it.

Prep suggestions? Ice with a towel for cool downs? And then, estimated times? 12.90s--13.00s? Maybe? Weather should be 70s and even cooler at night.

Thanks!

Cool

W/a 4# lower and a chip, you ought to simply roll into the throttle from off idle.

Try to have it WOT by the time you've reached 10-15mph.

Or at least that the best I can do on the F1s in this heat. Even then mines kinda skating around most of the way through 1st gear. Doing this I can generally cut 1.9x-2.0x 60fts. In the cold weather though I gotta go with some sticky tires. (pre TQ converter)

WOT

Lower tire pressure to about 22 psi, do not heat up F1's just clean them off. Roll into throttle for the first 6-10 feet and then nail it.
OR, put on some slicks and heat them up, and launch with all you got
