The long range goal is to be capable of running 11.9 at 120 mph in the quarter mile and topspeed of 200 mph. Current gearing allows for that speed if the engine can attain 6800 rpm in fifth gear (using 275 sized rear tires) with a calculated 495 horsepower at the flywheel and 415 horsepower at the rear wheels.
