Shorter front tires at max air pressure.
Limit front end travel.
Higher launch rpm.
If trans brake, use fastest button you can get.
When you stage, be amped up and don't think about or look at anything but that tree.

X2. I had my first heads up final a couple weeks ago, and wanted it bad! .026 light and the win.
Usually 2 seconds from when the starter sees both staged, but I wouldn't sit there and count, just concentrate, like is mentioned above. If your good you can also bump in further, but be careful and expect a slight loss in ET.

I can only imagine foot braking a .400 tree as being extremely difficult

X3 I havent done any of the above except the concentrate on the tree, my reaction ranged from .074 to a .095 with no changes to the car, I am sure it would be much tighter if I did the thing's on the list.

Practice tree did wonders for me. I know guys have all kind of opinions.
My 2 cents, and once you get it down, you will understand what I mean.
You must train your eye to talk directly to your thumb, toe, bicep, whatever you need to move.
I mean literally bypass your brain, because if your eye tells your brain to move your thumb, it's too late.
It's amazing how much I learned with a cheap $100 practice tree.
I went from high high .400's to being able to red light once in awhile. Good luck.
