With your car being a notch you'll have at least a 3-400# weight advantage. You should also have him in the hp department. So...as long as you don't screw up(spinning at the line,miss a gear,etc) you should have him covered. Set your rear tire pressure down to about 25#. Pump the fronts up to about 40#. Lossen your front sway bar. Make sure your timing is set to around 12-15*adv with the spout out. Don't drive into the water for a burnout! Drive around it and do a small little burnout to clean/slightly heat the rubber. Try launching at about 2k with a quick/smooth clutch release. Kind of riding the clutch out of the hole. Do a no lift shift at 1-2 but I would use the clutch/semi lift for 3rd gear if you are not used to powershifting. Depending on track/your ability/weather/altitude/etc you should easily run 13's. I predict anywhere from 13.4-14.0 depending on variables and a win against both cars. Good luck!!
