Hmmm...
Let's try it. Assume 60mph to keep things easy.
So, that's 1 mile per minute, or 5280 ft per minute.
Reduced further, that's 88 ft per second.
1/30th of a second equates to 2.9 ft.
So the addtional 1/30th works out to about 3 ft at 60mph.
I noticed on my car stock that the pedal went in 1/4" before the brake lights came on. It's easy to adjust it so that the brake lights go on immediately. This has got to be worth at least another 5ft.
P.S. I don't know what kind of mods you've got, but to get that 60ft you'd need to be travelling at 1227mph

Incandescent bulbs can take up to a full 1/2 second to come up to full brightness. Drag racing had to adjust the 0.500 reaction time (non-pro) when they started using LEDs for the tree down to 0.000 since LEDs come up to brightens instantaneously.
