425 chp nets about 340 at the tires. In a 3600 lb car that yields about a 12.20 at 107 mph. You would need a perfect launch and be geared so that you go the traps at your red line. (Courtesy of Moroso Power and Speed Calcualtor)

Not for sure, but I figure it makes at least that, I doubt it would be much over 450 at the most. Would it?

!2.2-12.6 you have to take in to consideration, track conditions, weather, etc. On a good day low 12's, on an average day mid-12's, I run about that w/ a little more lift 548/548, less stall 3200 and 3.73's......
