I would drop front pressure to under 30 (28 or ***** out 25).
On the track I would torque brake to 1500rpm and then release brake on third yellow and "roll" on the throttle(not quite punch but not slow either) (This is too much on the street in my experience but works on the track for me).
If you get wheelspin - either drop the launch RPM or tire pressure.

Good luck and keep in mind that everybody does not that great first time around. Find someone with similar car and listen to what track officials say.
