New to drag racing. Need advice.

There is usually a TON of time tied up in the front suspension that nobody ever addresses.

You can get a good baseline idle tune on it in the garage over winter and be ready for next spring.
Not knowing the build, shoot for timing in the 18-24 range at idle/initial and 34-36 total. It takes WORK to get it correct and is another area that people are eternally LAZY to get right.
