Go to the Golenengineservice.com site and click on the drag race calculators. You can figure out alot.

I am basically full weight (minus jack/spare tire, and rear seats) I trap 122 with 446rwhp. When I was only bolt-ons and laying down 354, I trapped 113.

I would guess 123-124 under the same conditions as the 112-113 traps.

I'm thinking 124-125mph depending on driving ability. Definitely not anywhere
close to 130mph.
