Default 1/4 mile and rwhp estimate?

I got a 1998 Ford Mustang V6

98 NPI engine,
2002 Computer and wiring,
longtube headers, no cats and slp mufflers,
american muscle cai
Maximum motorsport coilover conversion with koni shocks front and rear.
MM torque arm and lca
MM cc plates
8.8 posi with 3.73 gears

Also what would I gain with pi cams and intake maybe pi heads?

you would gain about 15-40rwhp with the pi heads and the bump in compression. right now your probably around 190-210rwhp. 1/4 probably mid to high 13s if you stick and drive the crap out of it.

PI heads and cams is good for 35 rwhp. As your car sits low 14s high 13s with stickies.

I have a buddy who did PI cams, heads and intake on his '98GT. He gained around 30rwhp from the swap. It is definitely worth it if you can do it. It would be a good time to install a pair of stageII aftermarket cams thought (another 25rwhp).

As it sits, you would probably run around a 14.05- 14.25 ET depending upon how well you can launch the car.

I'd agree with the low 14s estimates, couldn't see you breaking into the 13s as it is now

I'm still sticking with my original ET estimate.
When are you going to take it to the track to find out???
