Additionally, your time is not determined by your motor and the power it makes. It's specifically reliant on your ability to drive, the strength of your tranny/differential/axles/clutch, the type of tires, suspension, and environmental elements; not to mention the condition of the track. You're only setting yourself up to a) look like a fool - b) disappoint yourself.
I ran a 12.6 at 114 on Falken Ziex street tires in humid-ass Montgomery, AL pushing about 12.5 psi and making about 290 whp. I then built it up to 457 whp with BF drag radials, 11.5lb / 15in Konig Heliums, an all OEM GSR tranny, NAPA OEM axles, ACT XT-R6, and was only able to get a 13.0 here in farily cool, dry CO at about 124 mph. I couldn't get it to stick to the track and I knew that if I wanted to put it into the 10's, which I have no doubt it could have run, I'd have to get an LSD, massive axles, and slicks.
Hence, there's a lot more to track times than the power your motor puts out.
i know theres more to it than that. suspension is my next worry, after i get the power there to work with. i've got 500 hp rated axels, i have slicks, and i'm ordering an LSD. i know i can drive it to a sub 13.0 1/4 mile. i got my step dads svt cobra to a 12.3 after his repeated 13.4s. i can get it there, and i have the setup (minus suspension). i was simply asking if that kind of power could get me there or not. keep in mind... i'm used to a 15/16 sec d15b7
i juss wasn't sure if i could really run that fast on this setup, thats all. i'm well aware that it takes more than power... otherwise that cobra would have broken 12.5s in '03
