Drag racing tips please

[FormulaMarauder]

Gonna hit the track next week hopefully. With my mods (see sig) trying to get a low 14. Anyhow...

OD...On or off?
Airbags......On or off?
T/C.....duh.....
Transmission? D or 2?
RPM launch? Stock tires.
PSI?
Launch tips?

Never dragged an auto before, been racing may T-56 Firebird Formula, but its been a few years. I would suspect you guys have all the tricks down pat.

Thanks in advance

OD = off
Transmission = D
Traction Control = off
Launch RPM = 1200
PSI = 25 rear, 45-50 front
Burn outs not really needed with stock tires. Just a quick spin, avoid water trap.
Seat forward
pedal up
Windows up
Air Conditioning off
stage shallow, that is halt just as the second staging lite comes on.
leave on third yellow, pay attention to lites, not other car or noise.
WOT, mash that accelerator down.
don't shut off until completely thru traps.
1/2 tank gas, depending on # runs may have to refuel.
Air bags - some say off, some say it doesn't matter at your level of mods.
hot lap if you will, otherwise raise hood for 15 minutes between runs, doesn't cool off engine much, but does cool down ambient air temp in the engine bay.

Oh Yeah, radio or CD set to your favorite go fast tune, not too loud.

Good luck,
