Default Advice for first time drag entrant please

I have a 300rwkw BA xr6t with stock diff. Stock BTR and stock stall converter. Im look for some ideas on how to get the best ETs out of it. The previous owner managed a 12.8.

On the street without stalling it up the car takes off without any wheel spin untill 60kmh then it brakes loose big time. If i stall it up till the wheels break traction i can shift straight into second and it will bake for 100m or so.

I realise the track will be stickier and i would like to stall it up hard on the start line to get the best 60ft time.

So what im asking is, Do you think if i stall it up hard on the start line with the foot brake and the handbrake, do you think it will bake the tyres down the track on the green light or not? Im considering getting some slicks if you think traction will be an issue.

Thanks.
