Default Time drop switching to drag lights or pro stars?

I have a 98 Vert w/lid, muffler, 3500 stall and tr224 cam - it seems that many guys with this setup are running 12.50's w/2.0 60 ft. If that is any indication of what I will do, what do you all think I could run simply by going with draglites or pro stars all around with a sticky tire?

.15 and 2 mph while keeping the same 60' over heavy stock stuff. More if you drop the 60 foot time.

How much exactly you will gain would be a guess at best.

HOWEVER, if you're wondering if they're worth it...yes, absolutely. If you can pick up a set I absolutely would.

i have seen an average of 1 tenth with just front skinnys. the rears dont do anything for rotational mass as much as being able to put a bigger sidewall tire back there for more traction.
