Try around 26-28 psi and dont do a burnout just spin them 3-4 revs to get all the dirt off the tires.Keep the car in drive and lauch at about 1000-1200 rpm.If you spin you might have to feather the throttle a bit.
You better smack the tree cause its prolly going to be a close one

What kinda Benz it is? The 4 door E class? If so I would think you would beat him but it probably will be close seeing that you don't have many mods.
