looks like the 5.0 should be seeing 12.8's on better prepped days and better than that in better air.
I beg to differ at least in my old Trans Am in my avatar, I looked at all my slips, and I have stacks of them, probably close to 300 and a .1 improvement in the 60 meant .15 improvement on average in the 1/4. The reason I checked this some time ago was everyone kept saying .1 in the 60 was worth .2 in the 1/4 w/ out ever backing it up. So I check it out myself w/ all of my old slips. There was the occasional .14 and .16 but almost all of mine were .15 improvement in the 1/4 from .1 improvement in the 60.

As far as mph it will usually be less with a good hook. When you spin some, at least in the 60 or so, you are going to see a higher mph. Past the 60 foot you may start to lose mph.
