89 Camaro Rs 305

Hey i was lookin around and have seen a few camaros for sale around here locally, and i do have a drag strip near by so i will be havin some fun with whichever one i buy. One i found in the paper was a 1989 Camaro Rs 305 TBI with 180,000km on it, 5 speed,well maintained, has flowmaster mufflers and a k&N filter on it, no other mods, all stock besides that. What should that run in the 1/4 mile with a decent driver?

My 89 RS is bone stock with the 5-speed, and has about 190K on the odometer. Having never been to the track before, my best run was 16.3 @ 84mph.
