Unfortunately most of my races happen when I am commuting. I know people talk about how strong the LS1 cars are up top, but I have an amazing record against those even past 100 mph races. I don't know if the chip helped in this area that much.

I used to have 4.10s in my 97 Cobra, I know it helped when 1/4 dragging but wasn't sure if the affect was as great on 60 punch races.

For a bolt on Mach 1, none. You'd lose "performance". From a dig alot of damage can be done with a 4.10 but on the street a 3.55 will own it.
