I would say yes you should be able to get into low-mid 130's going by what others have done. I have seen maggies with 500 and change do high 120's.
No idea in the 1/8 mile. We have one here but never been on it.

Please...MDMC is lighting speed, I have been waiting 7 months for my car but my motor work has been 3 months itself, so just enjoy your week.

I've beaten R1s on more then one occasion. once was a 60 to 185MPH pull and another was a 45 to 185 MPH pull!
I've got videos of both,

Other then that, 3 years of supercharged C5 driving has kept me out in front of just about everything I've come up against.
