I might be off base here, but from I understand, the majority of folks here have used the Muzzy 1270 or 1360 kits. Have you tried asking over at the Dragbike Zone forum?

Ive heard of Carpenters 1290s doing 127mph in the 1/8th with a good rider. little shot of juice (~40hp) and 135mph + shouldnt be a problem.
