what diffirent could i expect with lower diff? i want to install a 4.10 diff before the summer, got a loudmouth catback and ls7 clutch/ls2 flywheel,
went 13.7@102mph in my first time at the track ever with the car BONEstock with 60f over 2.5s,
i dont expect the loudmouth and ls2 flywheel to do any changes,
but how much diffirent should i expect if i put the 4.10 diff?

I depends on your driving skill. 4.10's clutch and drag radials + good driver = mid 12's.
With a 60f over 2.5 you might do better with out the ability to spin the tires faster! I think there is more inprovement in your launch than gears. Gears make the launch even needing more skill.
Sorry for this opinion.
Does a drag race take you from one side of the island to the other?

LOL 
no the land isn't that little, whe are just so few that live here,
i know how bad the 60f time is, my clutch was toasted, and the car hardly drivable, but i had just got the car and this was the last open nigth at our track, so i just went there, literaly fried my flywheel and what was left of the clutch,
was on the oem 245/50R16 tires and had no grip at all, couldnt lounch over 1800-2000rpm,
now i got better tires and new clutch

Yeah ive been saving up for a 12-bolt for a couple months. Im hoping to get it in by the end of the season, so i can see what this thing will do. I know better to take it to the track now, it will snap like a twig.

Dude,........Last summer I remember see'n some kid in the burnout box,......He granaded his in the box. No...AAA or nothing and he lived 130 miles away. He was cry'n for a moment and his father walked up to him and said "Maybe we should have changed the oil back there last month huh?!".... I couldn't help but laugh my *** off not 5 feet from them when I heard that!
Imagine how much that **** cost to tow 130 miles!!!.... I'd **** a brick if I ever saw that bill!
