    Assuming that 360hp is at the crank rather than the rear wheels, I come
out with about a 12.89@106mph.

  It seems like that HP figure is low though? I mean, the stock engine
puts out about 250, I think, Vortech claims about 80hp for their blower,
which would leave only 30 out of a K&N, exhaust, headers, cam, and computer?
  Seems low... ??

  If the above number actually is rear wheel HP, that would be what, about
425 at the crank? In which case I get 12.20@112mph.
