the Magnum SOHC came out of the 2001-2004 R/T models, and 2001-2002 ACR. specs are 150 HP and 132 lb-ft. from the crank in those cars. with a first gen you'd probably be better off doing a 2.4 DOHC swap though.

In addition (if you didn't already learn this) the main physical differences between the Magnum motor and a regular SOHC is the electronically-controlled dual-runner intake manifold, a short-tube header, and a better-flowing cylinder head.
What are your plans with the car? Unless you go turbo or nitrous you won't really be able to get a SOHC much faster than mid to low 14s.

mid to low 14's wont be bad. this car is just my beater. i like the N/A class but if i did turbo something it would probly be this

Torque Peak: 135 ft/lb @ 4800 rpm
This has even more info such as cam specs and the operation of the intake manifold:
