Mid 13's on a stocker is great. Put a SLP or other aftermarket lid on the car and see if it runs even better for only a couple of bucks.

I did some research and figured it would run mid to high 13's but I was very happy with it, I was really amazed that it hooked as good as it did. I foot braked it in O/D and it didn't even spin a tire, it launched hard every time. First upgrades planned so far are Lid, Headers, ORY, and full exhaust, hoping to get it in low 13's with that. I like the gearing (3.23's) in it now, but was wondering about 3.73's, would you suggest them or stick with stock?

with gears its 4.10's or nothing...
you either accept the lost gas mileage or just dont bother trying to find the middle.
