Marcus that car should be in the 10s for sure. I managed to get mine in with 410 rwhp in an auto in -500 DA

Congrats on the car

Mines 500rwhp 348.....NA* And If it dont go 10's On motor, I will burn that car to the ground!!


Ps: With 489rwhp that car should go into the mid 10's on motor... But, You got to drive the damn thing and launch the car with a 1.45-1.55 60ft any less your babying the car.... Just goto to car show

Thanks guys! Im getting excited!
The car should be capable of High 10's in the right air (da) and track condidtions. My car was making about 440 rwhp and was able to go 10.92 in a +1000 da on ET Streets with a CCW Drag Package. Depends on how hard you want to drive it and where you can get your 60ft times.

So you're saying I shouldn't have a problem taking some of those cocky crotch rocket punks huh? That would be sweet to shut them up!

Those pesky crotch rockets will suprise you unless they are just a 600cc one.
Also you have to realize your DA and where you are at. Like I said our air is ussually 4k to 7k' and our cars run slow compaired to Houston where we ussually run about .7 to a full sec. faster.

Sounds like a nice setup. First off, the limiting factor is going to be those nitto's. You must do a monster burnout and keep the tire pressure low like 14-15psi. You have a good chance at a 10.9x but you will need to figure out the launch and where to shift the 1-2. The nittos will spin off the line and the 1-2 will break loose as well. So, you will lose time there. Your gonna need a lot of seat time to run 10's with any tire.

Much better tires are:
mt et street radials
M&H drag radials
et streets and skinnies.

These tire will allow you to launch much higher and not spin as much on the 1-2. Then, your chances of running tens will be much greater. If your fairly new then set your starting goal at 11.5 and work your way down from there.
Those nittos are good for a mid-high 1.5x but they won't be consistent and it will take alot of practice to achieve that on a well prepped track. You will have to learn how to slip the clutch and squeeze the throttle precisely to get the best 60' time. With all that hp the et streets will be much more consistent and less technique sensitive.
On a well prepped track in good air with traction, a mid 10 is possible but difficult.
My car had 475rwhp 409rwtq when I ran 10.5@130.5.
