    likely none at all.

    60ft is how much traction you get, period.

      it won't affect 60 ft. much at all, maybe a couple hundredths. the lower weight may affect traction in the rear, allowing for wheel hop. u might have to get lca's if this becomes a big problem. it will help u at higher speed tho, since something spinning weighs a lot more. expect to see ur mph go up and to lose maybe a tenth off ur 1/4 time.

        less rotating mass to the rear is always a good thing.....if your going from steel to aluminum expect about 2 to 3 HP at the rear wheel....If going from steel to carbon fiber you can expect around 5 HP at the rear wheel. As far as a lower 60 ft time I agree with the above statements...

          to sum it up... it will but the difference will be unnoticeable.

          In the entire 1/4 it will make a slight difference though.
