you might run a 14.4 to a 14.7 depends on what you got and how good of a driver you are.
I just ran a 14.7 this weekend and saw a newer mach one run a 14.6 because he didn't know how to drive so see what I mean.

fastest my car has gone is 14.9 on its 3.73's still with no traction and over 200k miles. for 20 years old i guess thats pretty good. someone just hit my car not too long ago and all these problems have shown up. like now its not firing right on 1 cylinder and it SUCKS. time for a rebuild =/ anyone wanna donate?

I went from 3.08 to 3.55s and picked up some noticable time. i went from 14.2 with the 3.08s (decent launch) to bogging with the 3.55s (and DRs) and ran 14.0. Then i just dumped the clutch at 4k rpm and ran 13.8, with a better launch and new clutch i think a few more tenths are within reach. And that is nothing compared to the jump you're gonna get...
