I'd say low 14's on street tires, possibly on 13 second slip on stickies.

No way,,, even with P&P heads and a cam my buddies '92 LX 5.0 runs a 14.0 in 98* weather and that was on street tires. He also has a short throw.

Well your buddies LX is lighter than a GT, and it also depends on who did the port work and what was done, also what cam. Every car is different and while I think that 13's are definately possible I'd still put my money on low 14's... like 14.0 - 14.2
