Mine was similar when stock except no headers (and I replaced the valve stem seals). With 3.08 open rear, letting the transmission shift itself, over a season of tweaking it got down to sea level corrected 15.7's.
Your car is probably a little heavier (I was going down the track at just under 3500 lbs), and your gears not quite as good, so I'll say the same 16's that others are estimating.
