Gotta pay to play... I missed the street tires... Street tires will never hold a shot out of the hole. Get a real tire under it or don't spray. I wouldn't spray half way down the track, kinda pointless at that stage IMO.

or spray and deal with the spin with the rear suspension upgrade it has no wheel hop and holds straight unlike most street cars

50-75 hp setting on a WOT switch.

Probably the safest you can do all things considered.

How about a progressive unit? You could simply ramp up a 100-125 shot. It would be easy on the tires and give you a killer mph in the top end.

They make a really affordable mini controller. Just an option to get you going safely.

OK. From the beginning...
Tell me you are not still on stock plugs?
Did your tune add timing to what it came with stock?
You DON"T have a window switch. So if you spin badly enough on juice, you could hit the rev limiter, which could be a real bummer. In addition to wheel spin, breaking a u-joint
or the 10 bolt rear would also result in pegging the rev limiter. Again, a real bummer.
For now, like was suggested above, jet down to maybe a 50 shot.
It is still quite a bit of improvement and a lot less risky.
Also, and I am just guessing, looking at your tq, I am thinking you are running pretty rich.
