Default Full weight 99.478mph in 1/8th any idea at horsepower?

My car has never been on a dyno since last rebuild just tuned it on the street with Hptuners. Car is more than full weight, 3823 without me in it and 1/2 tank of gas. ( 90 lbs of dynamat and a lot of extra bracing).

Car is an auto with 4000 stall 2.7str and 3.50 gears all shifts set at 6800.
I am still working on suspension as of now so I took it to the track with a 2834DA that day and it pulled 98.8xx and 99.4xx all day long on 17" ET streets motor only on aggressive N/A tune.
I was just curious to the power level as I was out MPH stick cars on nitrous and with prochargers with greater gears.

atleast 600 on a dynojet and that should be quite conservative

For reference, I'm trapping about 105mph in the 1/8th with a race weight of about 3,650lbs.

Thanks that gives me a general idea.
Blower cars generally trap a bit more than N/A as do sticks correct? What gear is that?

If it's the stock ratio it's 3.50.

Maybe a tad over 500rwhp if I had to guess.

True, forced induction cars tend to have more mph on the big end.
I'm picking up around 32mph out the back door. A 600rwhp N/A car
won't really do that. I'm running a 3.90 gear.

Look who's back! The stock gear is 3.55. How quickly one
forgets once they sell a car.
