It would probably still be a 14 second car (or more!) with me driving, but from some seasoned opinions its most definitely a 13 second car with a good driver, we'll see.
Update...new FPD is on the car. Thanks to DJ for helping me out, we had to chisel off the old sealant which sucked. Turns out the old unit was improperly installed...the manual called for two different sized copper gaskets above and below the hard line banjo bolt. Well when we took it off we found two same-sized gaskets on top of each other, on top of the banjo bolt. Definitely incorrectly done.
Also, the manual called for 20-some ft/lbs of torque on the FPD, well I did it to spec and it leaked...so I added about 10 ft/lbs...it rotated more and tightened and stopped leaking (odd?). The car also idled smoother upon start up, I wonder how long the previous one had been leaking and if it had been causing a lean condition....I need a wideband!
