“Even with a republican congress, how long, realistically, would it take for either tax plan to get implemented and have an actual impact on the economy?”

No president can wave a magic wand and change the tax code. All tax laws must originate in the House of Representatives House Ways and Means Committee. The tax law then must pass both houses of congress and go to the president for signature. This is in the constitution. The president can request and sign legislation, but he cannot ram it through.
