Semi Bench Racing Question

The last times on my car were run by the previous owner in Indiana. He was running 13.6@102mph on street tires. I am curious what kinda time you think I can pick up going to 3.73's from my 3.42's and also from 275/35/18's to 255/60/16 MT ET Streets.

I am just curious as to what you more seasoned racers think the gain would be. I have the stock stall, and am in Montgomery, AL. I am thinking the lower elevation, better gears, and slicks should get me pretty close to the 12's.

My current lis of mods are:

Engine/Trans:
Lingenfelter Cold Air Intake
TrickFlow Ceramic Coated Intake Elbow
LT4 Knock Module
1LE A/C Delete Pulley
ARP Head Bolts
O2 Sensor Extensions
Pacesetter Ceramic Coated Longtube Headers & OFF-ROAD Y-pipe
3.42 Rearend
Hooker Cat-Back Exhaust System
Summit 3" Cutout
DMH E-Cutout
MadZ tuned
Taylor 8mm cut to length wires
NGK TR55 plugs
Removed EGR and AIR

Chassis / Suspension:
Strano Revalved Bilstein HD Shocks
Eibach Pro-kit lowering springs
BMR Tubular Subframe Connectors
Prothane Motor Mounts
98+ Front Brakes
Lakewood Boxed Rear Control Arms
Lakewood adjustable panhard rod
SJM ABS Delete Kit, Line Lock, Wilwood Prop. Valve
Energy Suspension Poly Transmission Mount
Welded LCA Relocation Brackets
MOOG Front Lower Ball joints
MOOG Front Lower Control (A-Arm) bushings

Rims and Tires:
American Racing Series 699 "Rebel" Wheels
Kuhmo Ecsta 712 275/35-18

Thank you for your reply. I know times will greatly vary between drivers.

I was looking more for experience. Things like..."when I switched to 3.73's it helped me pick up some much time." or "When I went from my street tires to ET Streets I picked up an extra so and so."

I know it is just hypothetical, and perhaps I should have worded things differently in the thread title. "How much ET did you gain when adding gears, or slicks."
