The setup I had at the time of the 13.185 and yours are close to identical.
Differences are:
My trans was freshly built (race build), we are both running 3K stalls.
Spring blockers/fresh suspension (struts were a year old and new subframe bushings etc, poly sway bushings)
Gen V with a 3.4", where you have a Gen 3 and SSIC... ?? Pulley size.
MT ET Drags, supposedly one of the stickiest slicks we can run, not sure which brand you have.
Intense LSD
Otherwise mine was pretty much identical build to your current setup. Air temp, tune and traction will be the three biggest things that could make/break things for you.
This your first time taking the Bonne to the track?

I'm running a 3.0" pulley. I'll be running Hoosier slicks on 15" rims, more side wall flex. Yep, will be the first time down the track, so launch will be key. I'm not a floor it and hold on guy. I can control the slip.

I have been trying to coach Tom on his launch. . . .

Something I found interesting is the track is very different than the street. I can launch very well on street tires and control things. The slicks add traction...yet they are different from a street tire which adds complexity. Then factor in the light and most people try to bracket race because the light is there.
