Default FootBrake Racers-What's your method for cutting a good light on a Pro Tree?

Since I am a Sportsman Tree kind of gal, I rarely get experience in utilizing a Pro Tree. I seem to cut .400s, which is not really good. I launch from a dead-zero punch, (no stalling) so besides practice, what other ways can you help yourself cut a good light on the Pro Tree?

Try stalling it up. Your sig says you have a Yank converter, use it.

Definately go on the top light with ~2ms between bulbs you won't redlight.

You definitely need to stall it up, otherwise it'll take too long to react. I up my launch rpm about 600-800 over my usual sportsman tree setting to get the car to "squirt" out of the beams quicker. Just experiment to find out what you are comfortable with on bumping in on launch rpm, and make sure to concentrate harder than you would normally do on the sportsman tree. Cause they flash quick, and I found out running Open Comp last year you need to be alert and ready to go.
