Default Turbo ITR hitting the 1/4 tomorrow...

Hopefully the topic isn't beat to death but I'm looking for any last minute tips on launching and shifting the freshly boosted ITR. Recomended pressure in the Stock Potenza RE010's would be helpfull as well. I'll be boosting about 6.5psi, stock wheels and rubber all around, stock clutch.
Thanks for any info.

I see a new clutch in your future...

Launch easy to avoid massive wheelspin, once you're past the 60 ft mark hit it hard, upshift every gear just before redline and that should net you the best times. I know this tecnique worked well when I had my boosted B18C1 del Sol last year.
18-20 psi in your Potenza's should do the trick.
