If you can hook, I would expect a full second drop in your ET and 10 MPH on your trap speed. This is all just bench racing though. Good luck!

I would expect a wee bit more gain than that, like 1.2 but depends on the setup, the n20 prolly wont get along too well with that stall, but u never know, could still hook

-ps start saving for a 12 bolt!-

Spraying off the line with a stall creates MAJOR torque. More than most tires or in most of our cases, the rear can handle.

yeah when it comes to rubber vs steel, in most 10 bolt cases, steel looses.
it only took 6 passes w/ just a 1.61 60' to pop my 10 bolt once I put in a pos trans king converter.
