How to hit low 11's/high 10's NA?

RyanSG said:

I've been wondering what kind of HP are we talkin about to get around low 11's? 400,500..... i know traction is a big deal as well, so we'll go with nitto 555R's with upper and lower control arms. all on a reg 89Gt no lighter then factory.
Any ideas? (i know it's hard to judge the driver means a lot to etc...etc... many variables)

With my 306CI FTI custom cam.... Lightly and I mean lightly ported TFS TW heads.. Stock out of the bax Holley SysteMax Intake... 10:1 comp... Went 11.12 @ 121 @ 3125lbs

It's all in the combo... There is a big gap between low 11's and high 10's.. you need to pick on for your goal because both will require different amounts of work... It's a much bigger gap then say low 14 to high 13's.. It just takes more power to make up the difference..

Going to want longtubes/ Good size Injector / and the right parts matched up top...

Suspension and traction are probably as, if not more important ingredients than power. Your 60' times should be below 1.5 sec. to nail down those times.

I have a performance calculator on my computer, and for what its worth, at 2900lbs, 11.00 ET, you should need around 430rwhp. Yes, I realize there are other variables, but it should give you some idea.

Pure Street cars are coming in at around 3000lbs and around 450rwhp to make those numbers, so that seems about right.
