I dont no how hard your car is going to hook but if you dont want to tear off your valve stems on your tubes you better screw your slicks to the rims (FYI) go to a test and tune like you said and try a few burn outs till you find out what works best. keep track of your tire PSI and how it left the line at a certen PSI check them just befor each run in staging lanes becuse when the sun shines on them you will gaine a few pounds of PSI and make your changes in psi accordingly
