Race Weight + Me : ~3400lbs

0-60 MPH : 5.25 seconds

60-0 Braking Distance: ~ 120 ft

1/4 Mile : 14.07 seconds @ 97 MPH (corrected for G-Tech speed errors)

Estimated Power: 240RWHP ~ 280 FWHP

So about a 50HP boost from stock power levels, not too shabby for just simple bolt ons, and still a few left to go before really expensive stuff like heads.
