for example, I can run in the mid 14's two different times, one with a .007 r/t and one with a 1.24 (lol dont' ask). it effects the win light and bracket racing, that's it.
Ninja - you should be able to. if yours came with the 16's from the factory it is supposed to be changed already, but I don't know if you've had her up that high (you seem a bit more responsible than most)

What will help a small amount is staging shallow. Make it so you just barely trip the second stage light. Then you will actually be rolling already when you break the beam. It won't be much but it will help .

ha, I've had it up there a few times, I mainly want it out of the way for nitrous. I don't wanna get all focused in on a highway run and not be paying attention to the speedo.
