Arrow finally going to the track

about a week ago i had posted that my mom was not letting me go to the track, well thanks to yalls ideas i won her over and im going on friday on a three hour road trip to the track. that being said i have some questions, but first here are my mods

nitto 555r drag radials 315/35/17
4;10s
bbk long tubes, o/r h, flows
spec stage three
steeda udp
jlt ram air intake
75 mm throttle body and plenum
sct programer
mgw short throw

so my questions
1) what psi should i run
2) what should i launch at (on the street with full psi i can launch at 3500 and stick
3) what times should i expect, is there any chance of 12.999999999999

Dude, with those mods you should be 12.8s easy, if you can shift that thing.

Set psi to around 20 and see what it does for you. Might have to adjust. Also, try short shifting the 3-4 at about 5500...

yeah start at 20, might have to go to 18 if you dont like the results. do a real good burnout, get those nittos hot and try your 3500 launch and adjust it if you have too. usually i like to launch a bit under 3k. as long as you get a good 60' you should see mid to low 13's easy depending on track and conditions.

honestly i think you could pull off high 12s but youll have to drive the **** outta it. meaning powershift, just be careful not to screw up your ride, i use an open grip when i power shift so that if i miss, which i have only once(and yes it did hurt my tranny) you wont blow the tranny up, mine still works just not well, but if you use a closed grip youll probebly destroy your tranny if you miss lol. If you get a chance though, i would deff. do subframe connectors, will help your 60'

you don't lose traction launching at 3500 rpms on the street??? I have 315 Nitto DRs and I can't launch much over 2,000 rpms without spinning.
