-Drive around the water box.
-Decrease your rear tire PSI to around 22 or 23. Which means you'll need a way to raise it back up when you leave. -Leave when you first see that last yellow light. If you wait for green it's too late. -Speed shift faster. I usually don't even lift the throttle between shifts but that can be dangerous....especially if you were to miss a shift. Get an aftermarket shifter if you need. -If you don't have trailing arms and/or some cradle bushings (or inserts) you should consider that for you next mod. -I just recently put in a Ratpor shift light. I made it so I could easily hide it if needed and it's not permenately attached to anything. That'll help with keeping a more consistent RPM to leave at plus you get a shift light you don't have to look down at.

Drive around the water box with street tires, but then back into it, roll forward then do a real burn out. People may say otherwise but Pirellis stick a lot better when heated up.

This! You have to treat those Pirellis almost like a drag radial!

Heres my 2 cents. #5217 yes thats a perfect light on 2nd pass. TREE'd the bitch!
Lower rear tires to 19-22psi, raise front a few clicks above normal... DO NOT GO THRU THE WATER BOX on stock zeros.... Spin the tires till you see smoke and no more! Pre stage first...Take a breath....stage....... Leave when the 3rd yellow is at full bright, any longer your late... 12s are in your future!
