Just ran my personal(official lol) best at our local track.
Air density was equal to 2500ft.
Car weighs 3800 with me in it.
It ran 11.55 at 121mph with a 1.76 60ft (left pretty easy) at 24psi

What kind of hp/tq numbers would I have been pushing to get me there?
 
Well, the mph gives an 11.21 for the average TR (et = 1356 / mph). Using that, since mph is a better indicator of hp than et, average rwhp=197 * 3800 / (11.21 * 11.21 * 11.21) = 531 average rwhp. Your actual 11.55 gives 486 hp. So I'd say 500-530 average rwhp. If you dyno'd it you might get a little higher peak reading.
 
I think those calc may render you a little on the high side estimate. I've dyno'd at 408 rwhp in perfect conditions and have ran a best of 11.63 @ 116 in very crappy misty humid conditions.
