Any small tips to help ET?

So far the fastest I've got in the 1/4 is a 14.2. It's a daily driver, with a mild 360 and a 3.23, so nothing crazy. I have done some tuning to the carb now, but just in case, I'd like to know any little tips/ideas I could use to help me atleast drop into the 13's.

All I can think of is bringing a gas can, and running down the track almost empty, taking out the back seat and spare tire, etc, and inflating front tire pressure to max. Any other tricks I could use? I am running street tires. Suregrip and caltrac traction bars are helping a little with traction though.

And does anyone know a secret to launching with a stock torque converter?

My dad also said the best time in his demon while in highschool was when he let it spin as much as it wanted. But I don't wan't to look like an idiot while trying that and possibly getting a slow ET. Has anyone else had any luck with trying this?

I just want to come prepared, and try to make the most out of what I have.
