I'm basing this off MM's times...he runs 5.5x's @127-129 in the 1/8 in his 1/4 mile runs. He weighs 3750 on race day w/ driver. He makes in between 1000-1200rwhp depending on boost psi. That was with a 1.29 60' though, so that's why I said 1300rwhp and 3200 race weight

Whats your current combo?
getting a 1.2x 60ft is deffinately doable if you have all the pieces of the puzzle...obviously suspension plays a key roll but power management is also a key.
You can have 1200 rwhp but if you dont know how to plant it down in 60 ft its useless.
A close friend of mine could only get a 1.44 60ft with slicks, he doubted that we could get a 1.39 or better out of 275's; after 3 passes the car went 1.33 and that was with him short shifting 2nd! I can't wait to get back to the track with it.
We have another guy that runs our series with a 308ci and F1C, it made 700rwhp and that bitch ran 5.30s at 3300 lbs, his 60ft made it work!

silgle turbo, th400, trans break, on 275s or 26x8.5 slicks. been a 1.41 on the 8.5s susp has not been properly set up, still trying to learn how to stage and launch it. i think at the current power it could go a 5.93 with a better 60ft. then ide only be .6 away from my 5.30 mark. then add the rest of the boost.

Ok what are you using to control boost? do you have adjustable shocks front and rear?
What size turbo? how much power are you making to the rear wheels now?

You know it's really hard for us to tell you how far you can push your combo and what you need to do when you won't disclose full specs. I understand if it's a grudge car, but this really is as far from a grudge site as you can get. It looks like a 80-88mm Forced Inductions turbo to me, but again it's hard to tell you what can be done or pushed to get you there.

To go 5.10's@3200, you'll need about 11-1200rwhp (ish) and a 1.2x 60'
Obviously the lower you can 60' the less power it'll take.
