    ummm if you had a .05 then you'd have red lighted. Perfect cut is .500

    I was using a older tree... i have not been to a drag strip in 6 yrs so the hell if i know they're LEDs lol. But the one i was using was a regular filament bulb type....which i guess are the ones that go by the ".5 is perfect". Is getting a .601 out of .500 ok?

    yeah, not too bad. I guess it would be like getting a .101 on a new tree.....i think. Depending on what you are racing, most races are won or lost in the first 60ft.
