I'm sure it does, but I doubt it translates into any measurable real-word difference on a solid axle drag race car.

I still say most people do it because it looks better

I would agree

To be honest the main reason I would not do it is I still drive the car on the street and love the new TT2s I got for it last year. Shortened axle would mean By By TT2s
