Use your 60' times to figure out tire pressure on a test 'n tune day. Lower tire pressure (rear) from 14 psi down to as low as you dare (my personal limit is 12 psi but others run as little as 8 psi) and see if your 60' times improve. If your 60' times slow as you get to, say, 12.5 psi, then raise it back up to 13 psi and that's your launch pressure -- at least for that day (everything changes w/weather).
If you speed up a LOT on a cold day, you might want to check if you're running too rich at WOT.
There is no need for a MONSTER burnout. But make sure you warm up in 1st gear, then shift to 2nd gear for at least 3 seconds then let it roll out while the tires are spinning to scrub off the remaining water.
Consistency is key for bracket racing -- an auto tranny with a rachet shifter will help a bunch! Similar with slicks (if your tires are spinning).
