My fiancee owns a bright yellow '99 V6, and i just went and stuck my head up its ass. It has a 7.5. And I called Morana Racing, in Canada, and he said that the '99 has a good head design and he just bought one to see what he can do with porting, because he's not sure yet what difference he can make since the heads are so different from the '98 and earlier. I told him that her car ran 16.7's at 83 (without shifting it myself for consistency in bracket), and he said with dual exhaust, gears, and a 2800 rpm converter, it should run very low 15's or high 14's. Not bad.
The number for Morana, by the way, is (416)412-2815. He has ported heads, available with bigger valves (up to 2.02, 1.60), custom grind cams, roller rockers (1.73 and 1.8 ratio), can port intakes, and all sorts of other stuff. He works on Super Coupes, too.
Oh, and I guess Panama was right, dealer mechanics really don't know what they're talking about.
