1. Move your passenger seat all the way forward and lock it into position.
2. Buy or make a fan switch that will allow you to run your fans on low to cool the car down between runs.
3. Clean your air filter before going to the track
4. Race gas w/ l/8th tank max or highest premium you can find if 3.4 or smaller pulley
5. Remove floor mats
6. Remove spare tire & holder
7. Remove your driver side headlight
8. Clean extra items out of glove box and take out any loose change in the car
9. Turn on heater w/ temp @90 deg to help cool the engine
10. Turn off radio
11. Air tires down in front 26-28 lbs for street tires, 18 for drag radials, 13-16 for slicks
12. Set rear tires to max PSI rating
13. Turn off traction control
14. Move seat a couple inches forward from normal driving
15. If you have a stock PCM launch in 2nd, hold 2nd til 5900rpm then shift to 3rd
16. Raise hood and ice down SC between runs
17. Keep your hood up while waiting in the staging lanes

launch in second. nice ::)

Re: Drag Racing tips
 

If you knew your GM PCM's you'd understand :)

It means put the shifter in second gear and let the puter control the shift. If not it pulls timing to protect itself.
