Default What times for a full bolt on car minus TC

What could a ls1 with full bolt-ons but w/stock converter and a shift kit expect to run, i just want a rough estimate, the reason im asking is i dont want to shoot the crap out of my gas milage by getting a TC right away, and wondering what i could expect w/bolt ons, i will get one eventually, but probably not for at least 6-8 months, thanks for the input!

Im running 12.88 now with most of the bolt-ons and shorties instead of longtubes. Im guessing with LTs somewhere in the neighborhood of 12.5.
I did upgrade my 2.73s to 3.42s but now have 3.73s and a fuddle 3600 TC waiting to go in.

A big still will mostly affect your mileage around town, only by a couple mpg. On the parkway the difference will be very slight, if none at all.
