Bf turbo or BF 8???
there are sections on the forums for this. Not the pub. If you have 400+rwhp you already have mods.. at least a tune running 10+psi. go to the Bseries section and put a desription of your car and mods and im sure someone will help you out.

i am guessing it's an xr6t by your username.
300rwkw will see you run a low 12 or high 11 if you are lucky. -Use performance mode - just push the selector across and let the car do the shifting. If you want to manually change, it doesn't make a real big difference. -Street tyres at 20psi, a little skid to clean them, then stage. Getting them hot will make them perform worse. -Full tank of fuel to prevent fuel surge. -Stall up to around 1800rpm, and let her rip on the last orange light. Grip will determine how many revs you can leave with. More grip= more revs. -Practice at the strip. More practice will result in better times. Practice on the street does nothing but confuse you when you do get to the christmas tree. -Have fun, and post your times here when you are done!

For that sort of power and street treads. Dont mash your foot to the ground off the mark. Wait till your comfortably bogged down before you hit the firewall.
We can tell you a million things on here, but nothing will get you understanding untill your 4th soild run of the night. Then you'll know a few of thebasic shoulds and should nots. Have fun!!!
