Default guess my ET.....

i'll be running a 1997 GT 5-speed, with 3.73s and a Flowmaster cat back with no rear seat or spare/jack.....plus I live in CO where elevation slows us about 1.5-2 seconds compared to sea level.....any ideas what I'll run using this combo, I was thinking low 15's maybe high 14's. thanks

That's a pretty good guess, it's really hard to predict what someone will run. There are so many variables that come into play. Not to mention driving skills or lack of.
