prolly half a second in et..mabey 7/10ths at the most.
I run a .65 jet/pill and get right at a full second reduction in et..fwiw

.055 pill ...it is enough shot to feel it in your seat though thats for sure

i might go a hear range or 2 cooler on that spark plug....if tune is good..it might be fine.
but any more of a shot/pill id go colder on teh plug.

I dropped from 8.2s to 7.5s with issues on 47n-55f jets, MPH i gained 11, So i'll say easy 6.8s, should go 6.7s from 8.3s, i'll give it 6 tenths, I think a 63n jet would give you a solid 8 tenths.

I did this for a freind with a 100% street nova show quality car stock suspension. He was racing with drag radials.

Put a similar tuneup on it and picked up .9. He would not let me play with it to try and get a full second. He almost peed himself he was so tickled in how the car ran.
