I have a 94 gt vert but with a 5spd. With AFR165's, Tmoss ported Cobra intake, 70mmTB, 24lb injectors, Mac shorty headers, BBK off road x pipe, Flowmaster cat back, UD pullies, CAI and a mail order chip my car went 13.9's with a 2.73 rear and easy shifting. I just put in 3.73's and it should be in the mid 13's now. I left the stock cam in the car since my wife drives it and i wanted it to stay pretty driveable. After i save up some bucks, hopefully over the winter, i plan on getting an Ed Curtis custom groun dcam and a dyno tune. Not sure how much the auto is going to hurt you but i have always heard they eat up a good amount of power.
