Default 1/4 mile advice

Recently bought a stock 2002 vert, Z-51, 6 speed, and need some advice on running it @ Moroso tomorow night, weather permitting.

Questions:
1) Traction/Active Handling off, or Competitive Mode?
2) Burnout for how long?
3) Best Launch RPM?
4) Starting dial in time? 13.6?

Thanks,
James

1. Run in Competitive Driving Mode
2. With stock tires, do a burnout from just after the water box (avoid water box if you can) to staging.
3. ~2,500 rpm
4. That depends on what you normally run.
