the cool things about the automatics are with a different rear diff it'll still be geared wider then the 5 speed and run almost as fast in the 1/4 mile..
IIRC a board member did a 14.3@98 in his stock automatic with a 3.91 diff. Not bad for a slusher
I did 14.0@99 when mine was stock, but it was cold and my WANLI tires didn't want to hook
