stock acceleration on 160hp 2nd gen?

Is there a spec anywhere that gives the acceleration for the 160hp CTD in stock trim? Im looking for some numbers, not just 'god awful' which I already know about

0-60 is probably around 14 or 15 secs. quarter mile is deffinetly near 19 or 20 secs for sure. also depends if its a 4x4 or 2wd and 5spd or auto, i just ran my 2wd auto reg cab long bed with an open differential in the 1/4 mile with a 0 plate full forward only and i ran 16.75@82mph so theres something to consider and my torque converter being stock and having no lock up switch i didn't go in lock up untill 70mph on all three passes i made.

i can tell you that a stock 98 with a 180 pump will do 17.43 in the quarter with a lockup switch. not fast but it might give you an idea of how fast a 160 pumped truck is.

98's are 215 pumps 96- early 97 auto's are 180 pumps and 96-98 manual are all 215 pumps

thats not correct as 96-98 autos had the 180 pump and 96-98 5 speeds had the 215 pump
