Default Jetting up, any et estimates?

I'm running a local Mean Street race on saturday, and I want to jet up. I'm not worried about hooking, the car does a great job.

Right now in real street trim (3275lb heavy) and a .082 jet it runs high 5.60s-5.70s at 123-125. I want to go to a .99 jet or so and try that. I have all the supporting junk to run whatever so i'm not worried about that. I'm curious what kind of gain i'll see, can I possibly see 40s?

wilson plate, -6 feed, -4 noid to plate.

Just curious, I know how hard it is to gain et after you hit a certain point. I even entertained throwing a .63 jet in my purge and running it to a nozzle for a little extra top end charge.

Wanna trade setups? I bet itll go 5.5x. Im curious as to what your timing curve is like on that .082.

From a .82 to a .99 is a big jump in my opinion. If you are running high .60s now I think .40 something very attainable. I would leave the purge thing alone, just my .02.
