I'm gonna say if all conditions are similar.. IE good hooking track, low DA etc etc....
10.55@129mph.....
My reasons would be that you are dropping weight which may give you about 1 10th. Then you are adding 50HP which would normally give you about 4-5mph on a slower truck but once in the 10s MPH is harder to come by so lets say 3ths... So a total of a 4 10th gain.. I am being optimistic because you're gaining 50HP from nitrous which means you may be gaining 100HP worth of TQ down low so you're 60' should really rock if you can keep it hooking.
I'm still learning how ET/MPH gains work once in the 10s vs a 12sec or slower vehicle though so I may be wrong.
