Suspension in comfort, raise car. Trans in sport in 1st. Toe in throttle on the last light then mash it once you are rolling. With proper track prep should be good for at least 1.8's on a street tire. I was pulling as low as 1.76 60's on 285 section Falken 452's. I was able to out launch most awd cars last time out. Have fun!

It was around 90 but the lines were long and there was a lot of idle time
