If the tree is set up at .400 "pro tree" meaning all yellows will flash at once. Leave as soon as you see yellow. Don't wait on the green or you will get dusted off the line.ha ha

If you have the chance to make plenty of passes, dont change more than one thing per run. Ex., if you leave the line at idle after doing no burnout before hand, dont leave the next pass trying to stall the truck up after a huge burnout. Consistency is the key. Experiment with one change to your routine per run to see what works best for you. When you change multiple things its harder to see what works better and whats not working. And have fun! Dont worry so much about the launch. Just pay attention when you stage and when the yellows come down go ***** to the wall.

No burnouts on street tires, especially in the water box. Burnouts leave street tires slimy and will more then likey blow off when you launch. Try launching from an idle first, then experiment form that point......
