Well,
Regardless of when you launch I think it times from start to end.. you just get penalized for it if you launch early (if you launch late you may win the race and finish behind the guy based solely on the 1/4 time).
Good tires will certainly help... get those injectors done?
I know the feeling though... I ran a 16.01 in the Bu after a catback, 65 mm tb and ported intake manifold....
I was running from 16.2-16.6 all night, got pissed off that I couldn't break into 15's after getting the 16.01 though...
