[QUOTE="Softballer77, post: 14275282, member: 151898"] I have around the same HP as you. I don't have as much drag time as a lot of others on here, but can tell you what worked for me. I've been running stock suspension as well... Burnout= Yes. Heat them up good. I typically do a 4-5 sec burnout. Launch Control= Yes. 3800rpm seemed to work good for me on my last track day. It was around 95 degrees, and good track conditions. Your track conditions, temps, etc will vary this though. Traction Control= No. At least I don't. You want your DRs to work that for you if at all possible. Shift Point= I had been shifting around redline, or about 6800-6900 rpm. Tire Pressure= I have been running MT drag radials. 18psi worked best for me at my last track day. However again, this will vary depending on many factors. You just have to play with it a bit. Keep records of track conditions, temps, air pressures, and track times to evaluate later. Hope that helps. It really will just come down to some "racing and learning" as not the same things works for everyone since conditions can vary so much. Just keep in mind, if you are WOT (which you will be), shifting close to redline makes it harder to not grind or even run into the notorious 1-2 shift blockage. Mine tends to grind on the 1-2, and even sometimes on the 2-3 shifts if right at redline. Hopefully others can chime in so you can take an overall average and have a good first drag day. :) Good luck! [/QUOTE]
