Racin tomorrow


So i'm goin to the drags tomorrow, and i just am wondering if anyone can give me some last minute advice on getting a better time. so my mods are listed below, and im taking out all but the driver seat. spare tire out too, empty trunk, blah blah. my usual method when i race is: driver around water box, back into it, 2nd gear burnout, hold for a few second, try to get out of the water a little and hold a few more seconds then spin up to starting line and use the throttle to see how sticky i got my tires. then off the start, i rev up to about 3500-4000 and drop the clutch a little bit then slip off of it while giving it medium throttle, then towards the end of 1st gear floor it. regular shift into 2nd gear, floor it, powershift into 3rd gear while still flooring it, powershift into 4th then yeah. anything i could fix? should i be able to powershift into 2nd with my tires without spinning like crazy? last time i got a 2.0 60' but i know i can get better than that. i probably need to improve my launch and shift right on time, i have my shift light set for 5600 so right when i see that i shift at about 5800 or a little less but sometimes i just ignore my shift light. any advice appreciated!
