Shallow staging increases your reaction time but reduces your elapsed time and increases trap speed, while being the safe choice for beginners. Deep staging decreases your reaction time and increases elapsed time and reduces the final trap speed, putting you at the edge of disqualification so it should be reserved for experienced racers only.
ALWAYS SHALLOW STAGE for lower ETs.

A car that travels the quarter mile in 9.75 seconds when shallow staged. But deep staged, the same car will get a 9.90 time slip. Anyone who has raced against a hard index (9.90, etc) is very familiar with this principle. It allows you to fine tune your times. With a 9.90 car, the difference between deep and shallow staging is about 15 hundredths of a second. With slower vehicles, it's more.
