Question Will I hurt or improve my ET and Trap Speed

I put my first mod on my car minus the lid. See the Sig. Is this added weight but better gear going to help or hurt me?

A 12-bolt with 4.11s? Not doubt it'll help. You added a little weight but that weight is right over the tires. This helps traction so it could be weight well spent. The increased gearing advantage afforded by the 4.11s easily makes up for the added weight of your mods. Congrats, your car is quicker than before. Welcome to LS1Tech and the wonderful world of modding.

Thanks. I can't wait to finish breaking the gears in and actually see what it can do.
