I talked to people who ran both kinds of cars and that was kind if a concenus. Some of the guys with the rwd cars said a tenth and some of the guys with the fwd thought it was only .02 or .03. I think the faster cars would pick up more than slower ones because of the aerodynamics, although that's just my opinion. I do know most of the hp that a lot of these combinations got was from the fwd conversions, however that may be because those are the guys with the best motors and the most money. To really tell how much better one is over the other you would need to look at incrementals especially the back half.
