Going to the drag strip - in a tiptronic!?!?

This tuesday I'm going with a bunch of the viper guys to the drag strip we rented the track out for the day. I'm taking my 800 horsepower supercharged viper along with the boxster S. And my girlfriend is gonna also try and take the box down the strip once or twice!!!

The box is a tiptronic!>!!> For the first run or two in the box I'm gonna just have it in manual and just floor it as it shifts by itself when redline hits (this is faster than I can probably actually shift in my viper). But for the best time I'm assuming that you have to do something like put your foot on the gas have the tiptronic in 1st and hold the brake down and when the lights go let go and you would already have the engine at like 3000 rpms or something? How high should I go? Did I mention that not breaking anything is most important

What psi should I lower my tires to? Michelin Pilot Sports.

What kinda times should I expect to run 01 boxster S with tiptronic , desnorkled and k&n air filter, spare tire and kit removed

Thanks!
