Expected improvement?

I'll start with my current best which was a 14.328@98.6MPH with a 22s 60' (I know I know, it's slow) but that was with a stuck RR caliper and cats that were dying. Since then I've replaced all 4 calipers, pads, and added drilled and slotted rotors and stainless brake lines (i guess replaced brakes would have worked.) I Also added founders LCAs and Panhard as well as UMI fixed torque arm (I know adjustable is where it's at but this is my restofication car and stockish is the name of the game) and went through and put poly bushings everywhere but the engine mounts and swaybars(finding a 36mm poly bushing at the last minute is not possible) As far as I know the engine is stock tpi 350 but the y-pipe and cats are garbage but I have a new magnaflow cats setup waiting to go on in the next couple weeks as well as putting AIR injection back on (What? I like being able to drive my car.)

So what do you guys think? Will I see any improvement? If so how much and where at? I'd like to be in the 100mph club but understand most of the changes are suspension and brakes related (glad that dragging caliper is gone though) and I might actually lose power with the AIR.
