Get the tires damp, start burn-out in 2 then move to 3 quickly. Not much burn-out is needed.
Start at 18psi

Go around the waterbox and then back into it if you have street tires on the front. Like everyone else said, you wont have to do much of a burnout.

+2 from above.
Start and 18,19psi and go down from there.
Dis connect your front sway bar or drop it. It will help out a ton with weight transfer. Also take out your jack and spare, floor mats, back seats. Should all be done in under a half hour. Very quick the if you do all listed it should be good for another tenth or 2.

Dont get the front tires wet, back up into the water box.
