Question Any tips for my first time with the E55 @ the 1/4?

Hello guy's, I may be taking my E55 up to NED tomarrow night. The car is stock at the moment and I want to get a base line in before I put a pulley on it. Any suggestions or tips for my first time with this car? I use to race my 02 Maxima a lot, I use to get the tire pressure cranked up in the back and lowered in the front, I also gutted the seats & spare tire. It neted me a 13.8 at 103 MPH, that was a NA record for a while on the maxima boards. I am not going to gut the E55 since I am no longer hard core I was thinking going with only a few gallons of gas, pumping the front tires up to 48, and lowering the rears to about 20 PSI. Just some ideas. Any ideas will be appreciated.

20 seems REALLY low for normal tires ... I wouldn't go lower than 26-28.
