honestly in a manual it's pretty hard to put the power down best I can probably do in my VE SS manual rebuilt with a cam and Higgins heads and forged pistons is about 5.5 seconds although it has a stock intake and exhaust, and there's not many places you can let me rip these days. If the car is fun to drive and sounds good that's what really matters.
