Add to that a sea level track and .5 seconds and 3-4 mph would be easy.
The DR's by themself might be worth .1-.2 seconds on the ET

Like you said Charlie, if DR's didn't do anything so many people wouldn't use them.
If I'm not mistaken, you said this was your first RWD car you've ever drag raced. I'm quite experienced in drag racing RWD cars, I got a better time on the street tires than you simply because of that fact. It was my first AUTO car I've drag raced though.

For what its worth I had a car once that ran 10.80@127 on ET Streets but only 12.6@120 on street tires (275/40/17s). It was a scary ride on street tires!
