Speaking from experience, both at the drag strip and road racing, times look like this.
1/4 mile my best = 11.92
Front straight at TWS running CW = 156 mph

That being said, the IRS on these is great road racing not so much drag racing. I snapped 2 half shafts (got pretty good changing them out). Soft launch = 11.92, hard launch = pushed back to the pits. Top speed> These things have the aerodynamics of a brick. At 150 + they get real light in the front end. I replaced my windshield with 1/4 race screen and installed the BDR front chin spoiler. Handled much better but I really needed the passenger tonneau cover.

Caution: at those speeds you really need a professionally built roll cage. Your fault, someone elses fault, something breaks on the car they'll be picking fiberglass out of your arse for years (if you survive). I'm running mine at the Big Bend Open Road Race again this year in the 110 mph avg division. I have a TKO 600 with o/d 5th. I'm spending the next 2 weeks going over every nut and bolt on the car as well as having it aligned and tires balanced.
