Reading comprehension really IS a wonderful thing....you must have missed this part of my post, see below.

A minimum of 450 rwhp will get you in the 10's with a low 1.50 60ft in a 3700 lb car. In a decent DA of course. MIne did.

Well I guess I can post up my slow n/a car.
6.0 lq9. Stock bore, eagle rods, diamond 9.5's, stock crank, c&c'd 5.3 heads, ported fast78, ported stock tb(lol), 36lb fast inj, hookers, bullets on collectors, th350, 4600 stall, 4.86 geared 9in, full interior, 10pt CM cage, no heat/ a/c or P/s. etc
10.90s on footbrake @ 120mph.
slow. it only made 400rwhp(lol again) but the 350, non lockup, and 4.86 really are **** for dyno #s. Goes to show dyno #s are for internet boards. also has a 3570 race weight too though.

Sorry it took so long to get back with you guys. I had a 1.49 60ft. if I remember. 10.99@122mph. @3600lbs. The car has more left in it to. I've been ordering stuff to knock the weight down. I wana get this car down to about 3100lbs or less if I can and keep it looking stock..

I would really like to get there on motor even just a 10.99. I know with just about any FI 10's are pretty easy because you can add power to you get there. On motor you need the suspension and the parts to run 10's, then I would spray and try to break into the 9's.

I wish it was that easy. When you get to a certain point, around the mid to high 10s mark, it takes a lot more power to go a second faster than it did to go from 12s to 11s or anywhere else.

But if I ever do a shortblock I would love to get a 408 that was built to hold a 300 shot, that way hopefully I wouldn't have to much of a problem going from 10.9 N/A to 9.9 on nitrous.

I posted in here about a year ago then ran 11.4@119 with a 1.54' 60 and 400 RWHP. Now I'm on 17's and have 456 RWHP. That was the magic number! I think I can now cut a high 1.4 60 so tomorrow I will find out if it takes me 10's with a FAT FAT car LOL

You guys make it sound like a mid 10 second full weight all motor f body is like ordering up a pizza...it aint.
Look at all the guys with 408's running in the 11's.
The CAR has to be working to get in the tens. You can have 700 at the wheels and run low 12's. See your typical Supra.

I agree with every thing you said, my car puts down around 477 to the tires and weighed around 3,550 at the LTX Shootout. The da was around 1,800 had my car not cut low 1.4's I would not have been running tens so like you said it comes down to the combo.
Here are a couple slips for example car #32

I did run a better time with the same setup. All I changed was the torque arm and cut a 1.46 60ft and went 10.90@123mph.. Now the car is full suspension with a th350 tranny.. No new times since I fried the motor..

I'm with you, full weight street car, 466rwhp/446rwtq... I'm shy of 10.99 by .08 I wasn't holding traction the last time out, running 1.6x 60', a 1.5x 60' would have got me in the 10's !
I've only had the car out twice since the new motor when in, consistently cutting time off on each pass, but I'm haveing issues getting the 60' down. When I get asked about how to build a car for a certain time, I advise just getting a forged long block with 400+ cubes.
Why waste the time and small parts, you know you're going to tear it down and go big one day?

I don't remember the exact angle but I remember setting it to what ever the BMR specs told me to set it to. At first I didn't have it set right and I couldn't hook for ****. Then I reread the instructions and set it how they said to.. They send you an angle finder when you buy a torque are from them..
