    Same game, deep staging will likely help you red light. On a protree just nail it when the ambers light. Keep in mind a pro tree is .400 where a standard tree is .500 so on a pro tree make sure you are comfortable with how long it takes from both vehicles staging to the ambers lighting and be ready.

Seriously, it costs like $6 more to put 93 in your tank. Plus your truck will run better, get better gas mileage, motor will run smoother, etc. Switching back and forth is too much trouble. Get a 93 octane custom tune and be done with it!

    You would be surprised that here in rural america, my local gas station doesn't even have premium, just 87 & 89. One of the only downsides of living in the country. Its not that hard to plan ahead, I just try to make sure I've got 1/4 tank before heading to the track and the station near the track has 93.

    Also remember reaction time has nothing to do with E.T. so unless you are a freak about cutting good lights, like some of us, than its really not a big deal.

    When your bracket racing, reaction time is everything. My truck is very consistent, but my reaction time is usually where I get beat.
