Are you seeing a tenth in 1/8th mile change by short gearing?

A little more than a tenth, but I have to wait until the track warms up in the early afternoon. It'll spin after I get off of the concrete if I try to make a pass too early, like I did the day before Memorial day. It had rained and they dried the track, but I went out a little too soon. Since the first 300' is heated, I had my best 60' (1.1992), but when I got off of the pad, it was like driving a flat bottom boat.
