Default Going to the strip tomorrow

Going to the strip for the first time in 12 months...

Now, I planned on changing my oil tomorrow (10w30 Mobil 1 Synthetic). Should I change before or after the run?
Also, recommended tire pressures with 255/40/17 continental front (max 55 psi) and 275/40/17 sumo's HTR+ on the rear? thanks :P

Did you get your rear end fixed? Change the oil before and start with 20psi in the rear tires and air the fronts to 55psi.

we narrowed it down to a blown shock - which is on the way. I need to run a 13.9 or better tomorrow, to get into this race team Im with, which will get me a 50% discount on dyno runs, and a sizeable discount on my gears install :-p (The dynoshop agreed to sponser us)

Umm, well Im sure you know, but you could do that time with a 3sec 60ft and missing 3rd gear TWICE. Really, what time are you expecting to run?
