Your going to need to play with the pressures. One issue is ambient temp and track temp. Then if you have the stock tires they are not going to squat well and bite into the pavement with a very small sidewall. Then if there is track prep the first 60 foot or the whole 660, or 1000 foot.

Air down the rear tires to 25 psi when warm, air up the fronts to 45 psi, try your best to spin the rear tires after you back into and pull out of the water, run with a 1/4 tank of fuel or less. Also when you stage, inch up slowly to barely trip the second light and hold the brake hard. Line your self up in the grove as you stage and stay in it.
