Its not a 6 speed, its a 4+3 which you could call a 7 speed, it a 4 speed manual with a 3 speed overdrive attached.

Dyno numbers should be in the 200-210rwhp range completely stock. Torque numbers can vary but they tend to be in the 290-300rwtq range.

If you can launch, you can get high 13s @ around 98-100mph. Most people tend to get very low 14s.

my 87' not stock(some free home mods and exhaust). with 3.07's ran a 14.40 @97 in the heat of bakersfield with horrible timing in the middle of the day. it would do around a 14.00@100 now im sure of it in the same conditions.im not a bad driver but its easy to drive an auto.hooked up good to with a 2.05 ft. car ran around 200 allday with a low temp thermo and a low temp switch.those cars can be made to run 13's easily with home made mods and a good total exhaust system.
