my car made 427rwhp weights in at 3695 and runs 118 in the 1/4 so to break 120 you need to be lighter or have more hp.

You need weight reduction.

I believe there are many liberal dynos out these days. For example...

A friend's Z06 dyno'd 380rwhp at MTI with headers and other boltons. His car weighs ~3250 with driver. He trapped 116 on an 80* day at Houston Raceway.

My car dynoed 318rwhp on a dynapack dyno, weighs 3550 with me in it, and I trapped 112.5 on a similar day at the same track.

So, it is hard to say what rwhp number you will need. Depends on your weight and where you dyno .

there is a lot more to how much power a motor makes other then peak dyno numbers. power curve, torque and so on.
