how good are you at launching it? what size wheels and what tyres? how much does it weigh (eg, is it full weight or stripped?)
Standard gearbox? if not what gearbox do you have? and what ratios?

mine did 4.3 on 18 s with stage 3 and hybrid, 6500 launch with std gearbox and paddle clutch
I would say yes,Mark Shead did a 3.89 on his stage 4 which was running between 330-350 bhp,properly timed for an old performance car mag,many a year ago
Think he was on standard wheels and the 18's make a big difference!!
Surely if u changed your wheel size u change the profile of your tyre to suit so u end up with the same rolling diameter, or near as anyway, and the little difference there is surely cant make that much difference on accelleration to 60 as it all so quick anyway, can see any difference in diameter having more diff on top end speeds but 60 aint really convinced
That is a please explain question not an argument

it isen`t actualy the wheel size, that is the biggest issue, but the wheel weight...
if you change the wheels to let`s say OZ superlegera, and uoy have got compomotive MO`s on, then u can gain 1/2 a second to 100 easely...
Theese time`s are proved on an g-tech with an averege of 10 launche`s
235/40-17 MO`s
245/30-19 superlegera

bit like the opposite of bigger brakes dissipate more heat , bigger tyres are more ressistant to spin up !!
