yea, It will be close to the same, but I bet you'll see about a 2 mph drop
or so in trap speed if the 60' times drop by .2's or more. I've got a
spreadsheet of 70+ runs that you can compare all the info and see the MPH
fluctuate. I'm talking about strictly 60'. Your Bro spinning 1st and 2nd
was probably more along the lines of 100 feet or more, that will definitely
kill your ET and MPH!! Traction problems for our trucks is only in the 1st
60', generally no problem with traction after 60' unless your on some real
bad radials :).

Yea, bring that ride up here to Richmond Tim and we'll put the
Hoosier-(daddys) on there and watch your truck stab deep in the 14's :)
hee heee I'll keep my radials on and run ya ;-) !!

Matt... I think MPH will stay close to the same...

My bro spun 1st and 2nd at the track on his first time, last run, and turned
a 14.4 @101
(normally 13.5 @ 105)

btw, I installed a set of 24# injectors yesterday.. It seems to be catching
on (the puter)....
Now... When do I get to slap them slicks on my truck??? =-)

I feel the injectors MAY have lost a little torque down low, and gave me
some extra HP, but I cant tell... it seems the speed-o-meter rises to 60 in
a blink of the eye.... but... only VMP will tell me that =)
