Rwhp For 12's Et?

[JD1964]

On properly equipped Foxbody, how much RWHP does it take to get into the 12's?

 

[stykthyn]

Properly set up stock 5.0s have been doing it for years.

The Internet magic 8 ball says you should be able to run 12.999@3000lbs with about 270rwhp

It's all about chassis,suspension,tires,and driving skill. If you're talking about a "street" setup and non power shifting then it takes around 300.

Do you power shift?

Do you power shift?

Yes I do. I'm on my 2nd t5 with this car though and 3rd is getting iffy and probably won't last this year if I go back to the track. My combo consisted of stiff eibach springs,struts/shocks and MM LCA with Nitto drag radials it ran a best of 13.56@100 with 150no2 shot it's run 12.34@117. My old car ran 12.10's with similiar setup except for M&H bias ply tires. All stock except boltons and no2

P.S swapping out to a new TeamZ drag suspension right now. Hoping for a 12 sec n/a and an 11 with the bottle

It all depends on suspension, driver, weight. There is no specific number. The previous advice is pretty spot on.
