The car was breaking up when it ran 130 mph. It went 135 on a bogged pass. I would estimate that the car is capable of 136-137 mph on a perfect clean run.

Yes Eric Jones was down here for the Local NSCRA race and drove the car.. I witnessed the car breaking up and plugs for the X are hard as hell to find.. We used our last set in a car we delivered to a customer this weekend or i would have had some fresh ones for him..

Assuming the 4th gear was able to rev that high, 10.5 @ 130 mph is indicating 635 crank HP or 529 whp (20% losses) / 489 whp (30% losses) depending on the dyno (typical Dynojet / heartbreaker Mustang). If the same car can hit 135 mph traps then low 10's are possible (714 crank HP/ 595 whp (20% losses) / 549 whp (30% losses). I made an excel chart that roughly calculates it all on the fly which is great for planning out goals and fuel requirements as well.
