Lets see. We'll assume your car (which is 2825lbs stock) weights in at about 2900lbs once the conversion is done. Make that 3100lbs with driver.

 

With 270hp the numbers turn out to: 1/4 mile: 13.13@103.81mph.

 

With 360hp: 1/4 mile: 11.93@114.25mph.

 

I believe these equations presume absolutely perfect conditions, your results will likely be a bit slower than this. (due to wheelspin, poor Z aerodynamics, etc)

 

I'd guestimate that you could add on about .5 seconds to get a more realistic number.
