Crank or wheel?
I've never had a fantastic 60ft, but my car is around 750hp (638rwhp) and I trap 132mph like clockwork.
I agree with RonSSNova if you're talking wheel horsepower.

Seems low to me for that kind of power. I Plan on being around 130 with heads/cam/intake making under 500.

Keep in mind a few things:
You need a tire to get any type of accurate reading.
Weight and track conditions will play a significant role.
MPH is significantly influenced by driver despite what people think.
PUC will have a much greater impact than peak hp on et and mph on a drag strip.
Clutch type can/will influence mph.
Many other factors play a role too and they all add up to make the difference.
That's why one car with 700whp may trap 130mph and another may trap 150mph.

FLT level VI 4L65E . I’ve got a PTC converter that I can foot brake to 3800 and I had my tuner mess with the tune on the 2 step. I can build a few lbs on a cold tire on the street. I haven’t tried at the track with a sticky tire. I’d be content foot braking 5lbs of boost for me to leave with. I didn’t make it to the track this year with my most recent tune

I added a set of strange single caliper drag brakes. It did help a little but not like I was hoping. There’s not much for brakes for a 16” wheel. I haven’t been to the track yet to see the exact results. Just a little alley testing. I left the factory booster on. I do have the strange manual master but haven’t put it on
