hey guys i wanna still drop some time off my 1/4 bout to put in a 3.08 posi but was wondering if slicks would help too and how much

------------------
305, TPI,compucam 2030 cam, air foil, 8.8 wires, accel super coil, dynomax headers, custom y-pipe, cut out, 80 series flowmaster, 2.73's and an open diff(3.42-3.73 on the way). and a stage 4 chip :0). hittin a sad 15.2 before the chip.

It depends on two things. One: Are you spinning the tires on takeoff? and Two: Smaller diameter tires = lower effective gear ratio.
