Assuming you're very good on both, it could be 2-3 tenths.
If you don't know what you're doing, it could be anywhere from huge to nothing! It's a big IF..

...agree with Dr.Ron asuming good launches from both tire sets then about .3 ... but could be as high as .5, depending on HP.

The more power you make, the more difference you'll see. Could be as much as 1 second.
