your best bet is to get as many runs as you can and just try every kind of launch the way i launch is stall the car as high as i can and launch on the last yellow but ur tires will depict how u launch

im a stock stall/stock everything car but i have nitto DR's, i stall it to about 2000 but thats because the tires and track usually can hold it. Factory stall is like 1600 so go from there and see how it goes. I dont really see a reason to go from idle, you are racing after all

make sure you take note of where the staging blocks are on the track before you get in the lanes too, that always helps.


EDIT: 12.87 @ 108 is my guess, if M/T is mickey thompson
