without more numbers from the run (1/8-mile, 60 and 330 foots) as well as what mods are done to the car it is not really possible to guess.

127 mph fully hooked up with a 1.6x or better 60 foot time should net you high 10s at least. With a 1.5x or better 60 foot and a good suspension/driveline set-up, mid 10s can be possible.
