AutoX...i would definitely say 100mph is possible. I hit 110mph w/ a 125 shot. And i have been 105 w/ a 100 shot. So i would say a 75 shoudl get you pretty close as long as you don't have major traction/tuning issues.

If I give it a wet 100 shot from an NX kit without a tune will I be in the low 14s at 100 mph+? Remeber drag weight will be less than 2900 lbs with driver - I'm at 2820 now, and I'll be pulling more now that SCCA rules don't stop me.
An NX wet shot of only 75hp will give you that easy. I'd bet the 2.5L SVT on a 75shot (no tune needed at that level) would pull about 103mph in the 1/4 if it is otherwise mechanically sound.
14's for sure, probably 13's if you can get traction.
The NX 75 shot is No Joke and seems to be a perfect setup for the basic 2.5L SVT with return-style fuel system. Sleeper sleeper sleeper! 
$500 with a fuel pressure cutoff switch. Add another hundred for a bottle heater, maybe a remote nitrous cutoff switch at the bottle for a little added security would be good too. So for less than say $700 it is the only way to go.....JMHO

Id still get it tuned just for safety sake, not to mention your tuner can probably squeeze more power out of the car for you and smooth out the whole ride.
My tuner gave me 17wtrq from 1700 to 3900 rpms with just tuning, not to mention the smoothness of the change when the secondaries open up.

I don't know if this helps, but a few years ago I ran a 14.3 @ 103mph w/ a 50 shot w/ my 18's. I also had Borla,KKM, and an Underdrive crank pulley at the time.

The fact of the matter is, what you said didn't have anything to do with the question at hand. You said "my car can hit 95 in third gear". What does that have to do with hitting 100mph in the 1/4 mile? And then you added to that sentence, "on the button." As if that were the reason you made it to 95mph in 3rd. You could have 1000HP, and you won't be able to go any faster than your rev limiter will allow, in any gear.

Tricker 95 mph just isnt happening in 3rd gear with the stock final drive ratio. I'm glad you have GPS, but um ya...not possible.
And yes I'm sure your car is fast, but the argument above has nothing to do with that.
