Default Should I wire my Transbrake with a relay for spray, or not with TH400 and 200 shot

Just had a RMVB w/ transbrake Th400 installed with a 4K TCT stall. This is behind a 408ci. I will be spraying no more than a 200shot. When spraying, should I foot brake it off the line, then let the window switch do its job. Or should I wire the transbrake with a relay so I get the 200shot right off the line.
Will traction be an issue on my ET Streets? Wheels up would be cool, but I am after low ET's, plus I dont want to pull em too high and come down too hard

Wire it off a relay on the TB and go for a wild ride. You can set it up so that it works both ways with no changes as well. What size ET Streets do you have?

With the car setup right your ET's will be better wiring it straight into the transbrake. If your worried about bringing the tires up too far just start out with too much air in the tires and work your way down. Also you can adjust the suspension for the same affects too. Good luck, sounds like a fun ride.

Any thoughts of a 28" tire. That's an awfully small tire for that much motor and spray.
