No 1/4 mile times, but a few trips to the 1/8th mile.
100% stock, it ran 9.9 on a 2.4 60ft (60ft not too good) at a tad over 71mph. This would be a 15.3 at 89-90 mph in the 1/4.
Year later with 14 psi cal, no cat and super turd-o muffler (bad choice at the time) FM ported exhaust manifold, ported head by me (mild) the car ran 9.5 at 76mph on a 2.30 60ft with the clutch slipping a tad on the 2-3 shifts. (about a 14.6 and 95mph in the 1/4)
Since then, I have removed the balance shafts and a couple small things. Car would probably trap 1-2 more mph now.
I think with a different cam ('88 TBI), better exhaust like on my other car, and a couple VNT tuning adjustments, high 90's (in the 1/4) is possible while still on the 2-bar cal and 14-15psi. I'm just too lazy and content with it the way it is right now to be playing for more HP out of the stock original shortblock with 154,000 hard miles.
