Kind of a hard question to answer. Weight of car will be deciding factor, I can't be of much help, because I never got my car on the scales, even though I have them right down the road!
But I went like this....
16.5 psi of boost
1.33 60ft
5.63 1/8th
128 mph
8.84
151 with problems, should have been trapping 158+ on that pass, damn detonation!
Car is probably right around 3500 lbs.

To go 125 in the 1/8th with nitrous, I can tell you it's gonna take about 875 to 900 rwhp I think. I went 114 with about 600, to go 125 (which would be an 8 second pass for sure) it would take a good 200 hp more then I am making.

If the turbo setup is building boost out of the gates right I'd think the same power level, this is with a 3350 lb car for referance.
