Default Guessing Game... anybody?

Who wants to guess my 1/8 Mile ET?
I'm putting together a new setup and I want to know what you guys think it'll run. I know there's somebody out there with a very similar setup, so let me know what to expect.

383 Stroker
Forged JE Flat Tops
Eagle H-Beam Rods
Stage II Heads (2.02/1.60 REV Valves, Comp Springs)
Holley Aluminum Intake, port matched to heads
K&N FIPK
85 mm SLP MAF
MAF Translator
Not sure about the Cam as of right now, but it will be something nice, not huge, but nice!
Ram 910 Clutch
9" Rear with 3.73 Gears
Probably be on Drag Radials and 17 Wheels, so 60' times will not be as good as possible, but I've had 1.73 60's on stock bottom and and stock rear with BFG Drg Radials.
The car is a 6 Speed, and I'm an OK driver. Don't do power shifting, but I can bang with most of 'em.
Very little in the way of Weight reduction (Think 2 12's in the hatch!)

If anybody hits the the ET dead on, I'll give them a dollar, if they'll pay shipping!

Thanks in advance guys, no guess away!

Anybody else??? Pretty vague guess there from Goober, but I hope it's accurate!

My local track is an 1/8th mile anyway, so I'm gonna guess 7.2's at around 94-95 mph.

Any comment on the chance I'll be able to go 120+ in the quarter? How much HP does it take to run 120?

Thanks guys, now get to guessing!!!
