How much do skinnies help? For me >>> .193s and 2.16 MPH. The skinnies dropped 40# and I had an additional 30# of weight reduction. I went from running a best of 12.207 @ 109.51 with a 1.707 60' to a best of 12.014 @ 111.67 with a 1.667 60'. My best ever MPH before the skinnies was 110.53 and my best ever 60' was 1.7. The best 60 of the night was a 1.653. The weather conditions were very similar. I am sure that the additional 30# reduction helped but I feel sure that the skinnies were responsible for the majority of the improvements.

Re: How much do skinnies help? For me >>> That's great to hear! I'm going to try out my set of skinnies and Hoosiers on Convo Pros next weekend, so we'll see what it nets me. Those are some EXCELLENT times with a Vig 2800! <img src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" border="0" alt="[hail]" />

Re: How much do skinnies help? For me >>> That was an excellent time. I wish my auto ran that fast. The best time I have netted so for is 12.43 at 109. I have not reduce the weight in my car, I like mine streetable. I did purchase skinnies, but I have run them jet. Also, I have 3.73 gears and I cannot get them to shift properly. Anyway that was an excellent time. Good luck breaking the eleven's.
