Full tree VS Pro tree question?

I have always ran on a full tree and leave when the last yellow bulb lights up because I shallow stage just barely turing on the second stage bulb. I have to run the pro tree at the LS1TECH Smackdown and want to know how I need to prepare differently. Do I still stage the same and launch when all 3 yellows light up or hesitate a hair after they light up? I only do 1.8 60ft's in my automatic and my lights are 520-540 from a 500 light. ANy help before I go practice tonight would be great!

You need to leave as soon as you see a hint of yellow. If it the same as N vs S they ran a .400 pro tree, which means you only have .4 sec too react. S a perfect light would be .400, much harder than a .5 pro tree.

Let her rip as soon as you see a hint of yellow.

definately stab the pedal after you see any trace of yellow. You'll be lucky without deepstaging to cut anything in the .5 range with a 1.8 60 foot car
