Before running the SHO, you can also pull off the weatherstrip at the windshield cowl/firewall to help any built up heat escape. Put it back on after you are done for the day.

Engine should not be stone cold. Preferably, the transmission should have warmed up, the coolant will have warmed up well before that. So if you drive a few miles to the track, that would be enough. If you have a long drive or are stuck in traffic, definitely help it cool down a bit at the track first.
Tire pressures are something you will have to play with to see what works with YOUR tires/tire condition. Don't want to set off the TPMS alarms for sure, so probably no lower than 28 psi.

I would not drop the tire psi to much,drop them down to 30f-32rear and gradually decrease your psi accordingly after each run until you find the sweet spot,most importanly focus on your 60'times for comparison,bring a portable tire inflator with you,actually SHOnUuP is the 60' guru. ZElvenSho said:
26 psi, 2200 rpm launch, stage as shallow as possible, brake pedal on these cars have a long distance to travel...so remember to get that foot moving fast also, if you have time in the staging lanes I like to wipe the tires clean because at Milan you pick up tons of rock debris...good luck on the 12's...

That's what I was running last time, netted me a few 1.77's and nothing over a 1.81 60'...the heat will be your enemy...if it's not liking it early in the night I'd park it and try the later times to run it...temps should all be in a good range still, takes awhile for trans to cool once heated and the coolant and engine will warm up no issue in 5 minutes.
Avoid the water box...if you cant, do multiple "burnouts"...
May the force be with you...
