It will be well over 120...My guess is closer to 124

Here's why...

The Gray Camaro that kept lining up next to me would 60 ft the same as me, he would have .2 tenths on me at the 330 ft mark and et me. But id have 2-4 mph on him at the traps and pull away from him. My car is lazy off the line and alittle bit is in the tune. I dont have access to a cable anymore so its gonna be like this till I get my hands on my own cable to finish the tune or have someone hook it up for me.

I would guess 7.2-7.4. The last run I ran out their was a 7.501@94mph, but the 60ft sucked. Only a 1.6, Ok so Im slow out of the hole. I hear your 60ft has alot to do w/ your Traps though. It would be really hard to calculate ET by just Traps.
