Gaining 4-5 MPH in the eighth is no joke....some people failt to realize that.

yea that sounds about right..as long as your cars gear and stall dosent make the car fall on its face in the 1/4 i've seen that happen a lot after building them for the 1/8 and not compensating for those extra feet in the 1/4 run out of gear before the end of the track lol,but if were talking street cars then no issue and 10-1 there going to be stick so no stalls lol
