If you launch at the same rpm as you did with the 2.73's and can get it to hook the same, I'd say .15 off your 60 ft. .25 off your 1/8 and .40 off your 1/4 mile times.

So there is your answer RR could net you anywhere from 10-30 hp Ive read somewhere and depending on your supporting mods.
Do the RR.s , tires and suspension. If not then save up and do heads and cam
