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?
