How much RWHP is needed to hit 9's?

[cathartic]

with a 3k pound mustang with driver and full drag suspension how much RWHP would it take to hit 9.90's? on a 10.5 inch slick

I would say alot. Like somewhere in the 500-600 range. I dont really now off hand but i dont think i am to far off.

 

[cathartic]

i was thinking 575 or so

 

[noslow5_0]

yup takes around 600 rwhp to get it... a local guy was running 9.90's with his y trim 600 horse GT... can you say dirty??

I was gonna guess around 575 - 600 RWHP on a very hard leaving/hooking car. High 1.30s for 60 foots.

 

[cathartic]

was he on stock 302 block?

 

[cathartic]

so 550RWHP is good for low 10's, thats what i think im making and my car is completly set up for drag, 3 link/kmember/coilovers/ssm lift bars/cage etc

I have alittle more than 550horse and 510torque and i hit 9.97 once.. But usually go around 10.2 or 10.3.... so i am thinking around 600horse for 9.90's
