Skip the water and clean tires. I always try to do a rolling burnout and roll past the lasers and get plenty of sticky stuff on my tires. Then reverse several ft before the lasers and do a mini practice launch to see if its gonna hold or not... Seemed to work wonders for me when I was na on street tires.....
If you do that burnout crap past the beams here you get laughed at unless your a pro mod car or sub 8 sec LOL.
You should be able to get there on 10 lbs, but you will def need posi. Also leave in 4wd and switch back to 2wd. Isn't that what alot of 4wd guys are doing?

My times dropped after the 4.10's and looser converter. 2000 just wasn't allowing me to build boost at the line. You need to leave on at least SOME boost to get a good 60'. But of course I was on 32" factory 20's always and they are heavy as hell. The truck definitely had easy 7.40's with better tires and a few more passes. I only got ONE pass that night of my best time and it was bucking like a raging bull cause of no limiting straps. I always waited until after the shift to 2nd before switching back to 2wd and I had an Eaton posi. It was about 8-8.5 lbs but I would see spikes to 10 sometimes. Hope this helps some.
