The thread title says "Race only", the normal board members running 12-13 sec. times wouldnt know mutch about that.

All combos will react differently to different mods, the only true way to know if it will help you is to try it. The old school guys have been doing this for ever and have gotton good results from it. Most of the guys running 3" true dual set ups have over killed there needs. I would say if your not at least dipping into the tens dont waist your time with a set up like this.

No problem man, anytime. I am here to help my fellow LSX enthusiasts, as well as learn from what others have done.
