yes, 118 mph is 425rwhp territory with a 3000 lb car geared and sprung for the strip.
My 03 Cobra went 121 in 90* heat with 430rwhp @3700 pounds on Nittos. There is something holding this car back and like others have said,it's probably the timing being pulled. With his power and a good day at the track with everything working like it should I wouldn't be surprised if this car didn't run in the tens or real close to it.
TPOWER It's good to see your going back to the track with a drag racer. He will know all the tricks to making a car run like it should.
Good luck.
