im gonna say 134 if u make it across the trap. otherwise i say u get a no time due to axle break and track cleanup time lol no but seriously i have a buddy with nothing but some cheap aftemarket 10 bolt axles on 3.73s that leaves on a 200shot and puts another hundred on top 4seconds later been doing it 2 straight years plus daily drives it. He eats more pistons than he has broke ten bolts good luck to u

Honestly I'm thinking more like 125 traps. Of course track conditions can play a big part

I'm just going off of what I've seen personally with cars of similar weight and power. Here are some examples of people I know...and mind you these are full weight setups.
530 rwhp LS3 02 Camaro 127 trap, 535 rwhp 01 Cobra 122 trap, 501 rwhp 03 Cobra 124 trap, 500 rwhp 06 GTO 120 trap....and the list goes on. Maybe you'll do better, but this is what I've seen here at the local tracks

my 408 full weight car trapped 125 with 517 rw with an iron block so with slightly less hp but aluminum block i will say around 125 also. yes,lesser powerful mills have trapped 122-124 but they wind up most of the time with weight removed or in great air. who knows,maybe my driving just sucks or my junk is/was just slow.

I totally agree with this! Another example of power to weight that I recently saw was a bone stock C7 Z06 and bone stock Hellcat Charger. Here at Milan Dragway the Vette ran 126 and Charger ran 122. Consider the C7 Z06 is about the same weight as a f-body but dynos around 570-590, and I think you'll be hard pressed to find a 500 rwhp full weight f-body trapping any better than that

As being stated there are many other details than just power & weight. I would also guess around 125.
