Default ok first time dragging need car setup tips.

OK as my turbo kit is going to be another month im going to learn to drag without it and see what my car can do NA

This is my setup:

89 CRX SI
Thick headgasket damnit
CAI
Exhaust
timing and tuning

Ok now my friend is coming with me to the track it is a 2 day camp out there and should be fun

we are thinking about leaving my stock tires in the back and putting his 16X 7 inch rims on my front with nitto 215/40/zr16 's

Is this a good idea and is it going to help me a lot with traction?

alos when i launch on the street i usually drop @ 2000 rpm and it hooks up with minor spin and then goes is it better to feater at resistance point at 4000 till hookup?


BIG Q's

My cars head gasket is every so slightly leaking... will it pass tech? If you parked for 4 hours youd get liie 5 drops down the side of the block... could i just wipe it off before i take it in how indepth are they?


THX a lot guys
