The top NA guys in the country (wbt, caspergt, shaun@aed, j.j.@woodbine) with stock heads, stock cams, stock internals run 125-126mph...stock suspension too with just 275 rear DRs and littles upfront. All the cars weighed in right around 3500-3600 with fuel and driver. (Roughly 150-250 lbs pulled out of the cars depending what model and options they had).

What changes to the suspension or tires do you think are needed to increase mph by 6-11mph and drop a full second in e.t.?
Jeff was saying last night with him in the car he's over 4000lbs. Those other guys must be gutting the shit out of their cars.
