I wonder how much ET dragging stock front brake pads could cost you in 1/4 mile. Both front Wheels won't spin freely. Anyone got any experience w/ this?

Noticed this other day when I got back from track.

I am interested to find out this as well.I noticed that all this time my front brake petal was not fully retracting with the manual brakes I have installed.I jacked up the car and you have to use every ounce of power you have just to turn the wheel 1 inch.I put a big assed spring in there now and I can spin the front wheel easy now(goes like 1 1/2 turns on its own )
If I can go consistant 10.7`s like that I am very interested to see what I run this weekend :)

I have heard that under normal circumstance upgrading to drag brakes on the front in about a tenth due to reduced drag
