da affects times by 1-3 tenths of a second. with is substantial from say a -300 DA to like a DA of 800. but it would take a huge difference in DA to affect your performance by a full second

I gained 0.4 seconds and 3mph just by racing from 5000 DA to 3500 DA. No additional mods and no change in the 60ft time. So just like the previous post, yes DA does matter. Not 200-300 but anything over 1000 is a significant change how the NA car accelerates.
