That is exactly what I was trying to say. If you could keep the IATs down the 185 would be better obviously, but for people like me in the the hot and humid south, it is nearly impossible. I have the 178 now, but I will wait a few months before I go back to the track. 100 degrees with a 110 heat index I'd be lucky to break into the 12's. Maybe once the weather cools all you 185 guys will be able to take advantage of the extra boost and push deeper into the 12's as well. Like you said, buy what you like and have fun.
