What exactly do you mean by street legal slicks? Are you refering to M/T E.T. Streets? If you are, you will only be able to drive the car when the road is 100%dry and no sand/dirt. They are ussually only seen at the track, or on weekend cruisers. Never on a dialy driver. If you get them, expect to see a reduction of 1+ seconds (with a converter matched to your combo). They hook as good as slicks with the right PSI.
If you were refering to drag radials, they will also help out greatly. Good suspension tuners have gotten <1.4 60 ft times with them. You will be able to put those on your daily driver.

But before you make anymore mods, I suggest you pick up a good aftermarket torque converter. That will give the biggest improvments.
