With 120mph it should run 11s anyday of the week.

Drag radials will make a HUGE difference, they really could be enough to get you right into the 11s with no other changes.
Heat 'em up well though.

For that power, your 60 ft time should be well under 2.0
You need Drag Radials and a good launch.

You should be able to cut 1.7 60 fts with sticky tires. Rule of thumb is every tenth in the 60ft is two on the other end. So if you could cut a 1.7 60ft you should technically go 11.30 or so.
