Fully Bolted LS430!!
Well if you're just talking about putting a lower restriction exhaust, more efficient intake, chip, headers (?) maybe a 50 hp/tq gain? So probably drop the 0-60 by half a second or so and the 1/4 by a second or 1.5 secs? Another good way to improve acceleration is to reduce weight, getting rid of panels, seats (but then you would lose the luxury and practical side). That might drop you another .5 sec to 60 considering all the weight the 430 lugs around. So without F/I, my best guess would be very high 4s to low 5s to 60.
EDIT: I may have to correct myself a bit after seeing this:

It's a rundown of the new SRT8 Challenger. Yes, we can spend all day knocking crappy Chrysler build quality, but 465 hp/tq is nothing to scoff at. This car weighs similarly to the LS430, but has a whopping 175 hp more...and is expected to do 0-60 in the high 4s and the 1/4 mi at 12s. I may have to drop my prediction numbers down a bit. OP is this something you're planning to do? If so, what parts are you thinking of upgrading?
