First Time Drag racing

I see things got interesting in here. :eats popcorn: I'm not sure on my current timing curve I don't have timing light yet. What one do you guys recommend? It is indeed primarily a street car. I don't have a fuel pressure gauge on it, however, I just received one in the mail along with fuel pump and regulator this morning. I wouldn't be surprised if the clutch was starting to go because earlier this summer I started to suspect it. And I know that an automatic with a shift kit in it is probably faster for the average Joe, but nobody looks inside a muscle car and is impressed by one. They love to see that magnificent pistol grip and third pedal. Plus, a manual is so much more fun to drive and it feels about a second faster when racing.
