Should be low-mid 5s (5.2 - 5.4) I would have thought

But it will give the clutch a hammering

I reckon it would be more like 5.6-5.7s as your car comes into its own from 60-100 in 3rd more than in 2nd. Traction limits your 0-60 ability.

Low fives. Flea got a 5.4 out of his coupe when it was less tuned.



Coopless!

I'd say low to mid 5s, but it will depend on how well you can control the traction. More boost earlier might actually hurt you. All bets are off in the wet.

Why do you want to know? 0-60 sprints are hard on the car and difficult to get right, so IMO are best avoided.
