Id also say low to mid 14s. Your car is basically stock.

There is absolutely no reason you won't be in the upper 13's with a CAI, cutout and 3.42's. Throw some DR's on there and I'd see you hitting mid to lower 13's.

I'd like to agree with bkpliskin, but you do have some miles on her, so I'd agree with the low 14's crowd.

yeah maybe so. tires kinda suck so probably 14's. as far as the miles i have on her i do clean the fuel system with seafoam as well as the other seafoam methods here and there so its not too bad at all. with the auto having 3.42's my highway mileage sucks though i hate that

Well I run 14.00's in my heavy *** vert. so I'm going with high 13's. Houston is a near sea level track and in the "cool" evening it's quite good.
I don't think my 3.73 gear would make much difference.

i run 13.550 and all i have is a computer tune, cold air and a shift kit.you shouldn't run in the 14's if you can drive at all. i ran 13.8 with crap tires and a cold air intake and thats it.

Is the auto a stock 4l60e, or does it have at least a shift kit? That made a big difference when I was near stock.

idk actually lol i wont know until i go to do a fluid and filter change here soon. it came with the auto in it already, i will say it shifts pretty dang fast though, or at least i think lol. yeah with the 160thermo/fan setup and cool air intake including elbow and cutout im gonna assume i can make it into 13's now only one more second or two to go lol not it's my daily driver

You won't see mid to low 13s. I have made about 200 passes in my 96, and I run low 13s with more mods. I'd say low 14s after you get some runs under your belt.
