every setup is different, so i don't want to share with you that information. What I can tell you is, start low and slowly monitor your knock voltage and knock in general.
My car is 9.8:1 compression and is a decently quick spooler, so the timing curve starts shifting earlier then say a 2.0L with similar setup.
It is in the single digits at 6k though.

This car is very hard to get right for me in the 1/8. I am still working on it though.
It has an Exedy triple HD and the tires were rx7 wheels with the hoosier QTP at around 12psi.
Heres a pass my dad got for me but the phone lense was fogged so it didnt focus. This was the 10.2 @ 148 run.
I cant get the car to hook right. It either bogs or spins to much. I only got 4 chances though. I feel more seat time i can get it figured out.
I know my shifting & driving in general sucks. video proof of that
I feel like I cant shift as fast as I want or the trans will lock me out.
Heres a slower pass but clear video. around 33psi.

That is where I have my tires at about as well.
Are you using a 2step or Antilag ? If you're using anti lag I would switch to a 2step. It's a lot more consistent off the line
Not sure if Scott had talked to you about preloading but I would do that as well
Just light one bulb and then slowly release clutch while getting up on 2step simultaneously holding ebrake and releasing gradually until you can stage.
Then hold ebrake as hard as you can
When you're comfortable and ready just release ebrake and clutch fully at the same time "dumping it" basically but not really since you have partially released already
Having a good suspension setup will help as well obviously

Boost by gear that beast in first and second,work on that shifting and you will see 9's. I never used e-brake on the evo, just anti-lag to help slip the clutch easier. works great. Every car is different. Good luck.

Scott didnt, because he knows I never did that before.
I do always light the one set first, then barely make it move enough to turn the 2nd set on so I don't go to far out giving myself some room for movement so I dont trip the beam.
I never tried the ebrake method, but I will give it a shot, because a lot of times I notice people tripping the light as their car is 2 stepping which then makes the 60ft horrible in turn.
The suspension seems ok. Its a megan racing suspension. It has allowed me to do a 1.51 60ft 4 years ago with the fp black and 2.3, but I do understand this setups much harder to work with.
I appreciate your help a lot!
Might have no choice though. My car wont go under 31psi on wastegate pressure though, so that's a problem there in itself.
Thanks.
Stock ecu can build boost off the line yes. I always naturally let the car build boost though. From my past experience, less boost off the line is easier to work with and 60ft with. To little though and it will bog without enough RPM so thats a double edged sword in itself.

Thank you! Hopefully single digit ET soon.
Yes what happened was, I went down the track the first pass at 41-42psi with 16psi in the tires. The car spun all of 3rd gear, I got super nervous and kind of scared and missed 4th gear, but managed to get it in after 3-4 attemps and that pass was 10.8 @ 133.
So after that pass I reset everything back to wastegate pressure which is around 31-32psi or around there on my car, and it went 144. From there I added 2-3 full turns of the mbc and ended up with my 148. I ran out of time at the track. I was slowly adding more boost, and the car was slowly dropping ET and raising MPH regardless of my crappy driving.
I think even with my crappy driving it will do a high 9, but with a more experienced driver, the car will do a much more better ET and mph I think then im capable of making it do.
Thanks Freddy. I will update what it does on Sunday. good or bad 
That's the best way to approach it honestly. 3 port / ecu boost, with boost per gear control. My car has that ability, but my wastegate springs are to stiff, so I'm stuck at 750whp / 621wtq as a base power.
If I cant get it to hook with my current method, I'm going to just drop spring pressure, and do a serious boost per gear adjustment and force it to hook by dialing its power way down in 1st & 2nd.
Spinning isn't winning
