It would probably knock 0.5 to 1 sec off your 1/4 on a stock car. That is just a guess, but TC's are usually good for that kind of improvement.

It depends on your setup (mods, tires, track prep, DA) and what you have already run. Anywhere from .4 seconds to 1 full second reduction in ET can be seen.

It all depends on what kind of "help" you want for your car ... do you want to "help" its daily driveability in town? Or to hell with driveability and just go all out for best times at the track? The typical "go huge" advice is one-dimensional. What are YOUR goals for your car?
