1/8th tank of gas or less
45psi rear tire pressure
remove driver side headlight
remove crap from trunk
roll into the throttle and stay calm
never hot lap
open hood between runs, and keep the engine off as much as possible
don't try to be the fastest one out there. Work on beating your own times.
Stage deep. Meaning... stop as soon as the second stage light; lights up.
Turn off headlights and other battery draining items. (Just by turning off my day time running lights, I gained .5mph)
Do not lower the front tire pressure! Search on line for the reasons why.
Do not! Do long burn outs. Just back up to the water box (stay out off the water) set the parking brake and floor it for a few seconds. Just long enough to clean the tires off.
Then do a couple light throttle stabs to check traction before staging

K&N, Hogan catless DP, Magnaflow catback no resonator, LS6 yellow valve springs, 1.8 HS Rockers, TF pushrods, Diablo Lew tune, Ported LS4 intake manifold, poly dog bone mount, and slicks was what it took to get there.
