Maurader,
It's my understanding that, yes, the F-16's CFT's have transonic drag. I think their drag at cruise is essentially zero. But the transonic drag is maybe max 4 per as SMSgt Mac noted. That seems perhaps a little high given a centerline and plus pylon would have a drag of 13. But that would be a reasonable upper bound.
