Things I need to know
What settings do I put the car at?
What PSI should I start the rear tires?
Front tires are 295/30/20, what tire pressure?
How long of burnout?
Anything else would be appreciated.

I suspect that your running Mickey Thompson drag radials in that size. I just made my first trip to the drags with that same tire. I was told by MT to do a big burnout to break them in, and after that, just a average burnout to clean up the tires and get a little heat. They suggested a very low, IMO, psi, but I've had issue with low pressures on other cars making the top end a little scary. I ran 28 psi and got 1.72 and 1.71 sixty foots consistently. Going to the track next weekend and am going to slowly lower the psi and see if I can get an even better sizxty foot. I'm also running my OEM tires and wheels in front at the normal 32 psi. I also ran with all the nannies on. My grandson ran the car with the nannies off and got consistent 1.72 sixty foots. I only made two runs and I got the 1.71.
