Default going back to track. opinions?

well a couple weeks ago i went to the strip and only ran about 4 times. times were getting consistantly better as it got cooler. best was 14.92 @ 92.xxmph and 60ft was 2.2x... that was on 20s with 285/50/20s on them.. was hooking good but those turds are heavy. think they weigh in at 75-85 lbs for 1 tire/rim.
since then i installed superior 1-2 and super hold 4th servos and it made a world of difference from where i was at. the shift from 1-2 was real slow from low tranny pressure in my tune but the servos fixed all that.
anyways... this weekend im putting my stock rim/tires(16s) on the front with stock rims/26inch mt et streets on the rear.
im just wondering how much the servos and the wheels and tires could help my time... also will prolly be around 10 to 15 degrees cooler this weekend too... so lets hear it...
thanx

You could easily gain .4 to .5 with the tires and servos the only bad part is getting them to hook.
