Going to new england dragway for 1st time Friday

Well after having my car for over 2 years it is going to finally see some track time in New Hampshire next Friday (July 26th) and I'm shooting for mid 13's with my setup assuming I get a good launch. My car has Dynatech long tube headers w/ 1.75" primaries, custom 2.5" y-pipe, no cats, corsa cat back exhaust, homemade CAI, stock 3.42 gears, Goodyear eagle HP tires (2 years old but still have decent tread left), pro 5.0 shifter, KYB shocks in the back, and PCMforless tuning. Do mid 13's sound reasonable for my car? Thanks

Also, should I run my tires at normal street pressure (33PSI i think) or should I drop it some?

Traction is usually at a premium on Friday nights. No slicks so they don't treat the track but if you get there early and the track was rented for Friday afternoon, you can sometimes get in some good passes before it turns to crap.

I would try around 25 pounds to start and see what happens in the rears, I would put 35-40 in the fronts.
