Second, you'll probably be ok with slicks, but I'd being a trailer to the track, cause if you're on a stock rear, it's not if, it's when.
those tires will help a lot. on street tires i was getting 2.0s on a good nite at qualcomm. now im in the high 1.8s on my 275/40/ mt et streets. dont be bummed about shitty 60 foots at qualcomm luis. b/c after all it is a PARKING LOT

I know CamaroJucky Is going to jump on me about this b/c I forget everytime I dont know **** about suspension but I would recommend Relocation brackets regardless of your car being lowered. They help with the angel of the control arms and increases pressure on the rear wheels. Disconnect the front swaybar end link to help with weight transfer. Then Control arms. From there just practice "A LOT" on slipping the clutch. I have pulled a 2.0 Flat on street tires. The time in my sig. where on ET Streets and I was clutch dumping at 3600rpms and bogging off the line but still pulled my best time like that 
. To much tire.
I would sau Do a 3300-3800rpm Clutch Slip. So about a 2-4 second burnout to simply get the water off the tires. Drag Radials dont technically need to be heated up like Slicks do.

you just have to learn your car its deff trial by error, no stress john force didnt wake up one day hitting perfect r/t's. for your application which is very similar mine, you have to find the balance of clutch and gas, to much of either 1 will significantly hurt your 60's its just something you have to work on. what will help no matter what track your going to is noting info down on each time slip, rpm you launched at, the amount of slipping the clutch you did and or how much you think you spun or bogged,
ex
1.909 60'
i would describe mine like this
3500rpm
slipped the clutch but let go of it too early and bogged out of the hole.
ex 2
1.850 60'
4000rpm
slipped the clutch but still spun a little no bogging
ex3
1.809 60'
4250 rpm
slipped the clutch hard, barely spun no bogging
this is what i do every time i make a pass as well as note tire pressure after each pass, and write that down as well, helps find what your tires like and what your car likes
hope this helps

True, so if your good with operating two pedals with one foot preload the car a bit, not too good on the clutch since you will be slipping it to preload it but when you get good at it you can start preloading on the second amber so its not slipping for too long.
Thats way too long to heat up a drag radial. You just need to clean them off and warm them up a bit, too hot is just as bad as a cold tire.
60' times, not R/T, nothing to do with each other. Stock power is enough to break a 10 bolt...

true but when you get even better you stop lifting off the gas while shifting further killing the life expectancy for the clutch and or the rear
