Default Dragstrip bound..lock out first or spray..

Going to track tomorrow and am still debating locking out first or letting it spray in first.... If I spray in first and just spin the entine time it might be better to just lockout first and get traction...any thoughts or expierences?
I will be running a 125 shot, A4, and good street tires.
Thanks

On all the cars I setup with spray I usally lockout 1st. Then when the suspension is beefed up enuff and on a full slick I drop the hammer in first

With street tires I would lock out first also. It may even break loose in second when the kit comes on. Good luck.

Well I went and ran a 12.9 @ 108 w/ 2.02 60 ft with first locked out.
With spraying in first I ran a 12.8 @ 106 w/ 2.01 60 ft. Not too much difference.

lid and catback. Don't have any awnsers for you as far as the times are concerned. I know I have the right jet in. There was alot of cars I thought were going to do better than they did; 07 Mustang same mods and nitrous hit as me and he stayed in low 13's all day and a 99 WS6 w/ patriot heads and a cam run low 13's.....probably just one of them days dunno.
