So says the guy running a 7 second car in SST

As far as footbraking, I have won a West Coast Super Gas Association event (which in those days was a 7 or 8 round event) footbraking, and many rounds in divisional racing as well. I also won a bunch of races in an 11.90 index car with .400 tree and no deep staging (I could redlight with either good air or a tiny bump in). All of this was before the LEDs and .370 tree though, and I don't seem to react as quickly to the LEDs as the 0.030 tree difference assumes I will.
