I keep reading about these 7-800 hp ls1s tht r running low 10s.All the heads cam guys that are making 500 hp are easily in the 10's....haver any turbo cars made it there without an extreme amount of power? thanks in advance.

Yes a couple in oz have while running the gen tt kit-

between 10.50-10.80 et with mild mods-some with good heads while others with just a good cam selection while using a good clutch or auto-
unsure on the mph-

yes, in a ford fairmont.

stock 5.3 truck motor, only ls6 cam and springs. mp70 turbo at 14psi. 604rwhp on a dynojet, 9.96@137.

good thing about the fairmont is it's a fox body. easy to hook with just a few bolt on parts. not even as light as you might think. 3200 with driver. bigest help i would say is a trans brake and a 2 step. we launch under full boost.

My car dynoed 547 on a twin turbo setup and it's run a best of a 10.84@130 at the same boost and same setup except a large single turbo. I doubt it was over 600.

My Vette made 520rwhp and I ran 10.7 at 130mph with a M-6 on DR's.

All heads cam guys are not in the tens easily, if they are in the tens they have done alot more than you think. Most likely it's a very extreme setup. It's not just hp either, most of the cam/heads cars in the tens have massive weight reduction.

I AGREE! Weight reduction is where most of these guys run those numbers! Full weight its hard for f-bodys to run 10's with heads and cam. Unless mybe its a solid roller setup!

Alot has to do with traction also, how your tires hook up.

I am in the tens with around 500 to 520 hp and a little P-1SC! My car is full weight and still has A/C.

Like Rufretic said the Heads/Cam cars that are in the tens do it by a huge gear, weight reduction, big stall, 28" or bigger tires sometimes, and/or higher than average compression. Not saying that all of them are like that but look at the vast majority of them and you can usually pick one or more things from that list that contribute to them running in the tens.

you can go as low as 350hp and hit a 10.99 in a 4thgen.. but at that point you have a extreme weight reduction, drag only car.
add a little weight for a nicer interior, and you need over 400...
add a little to the 60' from a non-perfect drag suspension, and you need a tad more for the top end.

for a car that you're probably thinking of.. a street car with AC, but some drag mods... you'd need a mid 500s to hit it easily... depending on alot of variables.. thats just a guess..
if you want a "almost stock, 1.7-ish 60' " car to run 10s, you're looking at 600+... because theres so much catchup work to do at the big end of the track.

Alot more factors come into play. I went 10.3, but was still spinning the drag radials, and I am under 600rwhp in a full weight car.
