You're running different tires than my R/T, but here's what I did at the
track. 22psi in the rear on stock badyear RSA's. Some people have
suggested 40psi in the fronts, but I didn't try it. I tried a few different
launch techniques, but what seemed to work best for me was to hold the brake
and load up to about 1100-1300rpm, then let off the brake and go about 3/4
throttle till you're rolling then mash it the rest of the way (basically
just trying to keep the spin to a minimum). I even netted a couple 2.0 60'
times on the stock tires doing that. I have the auto tranny as well, I
would keep the o/d off and do the 2-3 shift manually, seemed to work fairly
well. You should go to a test&tune and try out some different combinations
and see what works best for you.
