Should be in drag racing section I think. And as usual, it depends largely on the driver, especially being a stick. Could be as good as 13.6, could be any time slower, depending on basically everything.

make sure you get some good tires. i had an lt1 before my trans am and it was hard to hook even when it was near stock. the torque is just crazy.

If you want to have fun with the car at the track and on the occasional empty road, do suspension stuff first. Get yourself a good torque arm and LCA's before you worry about adding a bunch of power.

Launching a manual 4th gen takes allot of practice. You can't just dump the clutch and go, so getting your 60' times to near 2.0 is key to running in the mid - low 13s.
What gears can have a big effect on your ETs. Without good tires 3:73s and 4:10 can actually hurt your ETs are traction becomes a big problem.
What my car was a heads/cam package I went from 3:42s to 3:73s I lost ET due to traction problems and not really having enough HP to get the car to pull hard in 4th gear. Car was allot more consistent with the 3:42s for bracket racing.
So 14.0 to 13.6 is my guess.
