Default how much rwhp does a lightning need?

where would a lightning have to be for rwhp to hang with a 450rwhp A4 Z28 with 3600 stall? i know it pretty much stock maybe a bigger pulley but that all im sure.

If I remember right those are around 3900 lbs? assuming your F body weighs around 3400 I would guess around 500 HP to be equal. But thats really hard to say, are you talking about a set roll or at a track? Theres so much besides just RWHP when it comes to drag racing that we would really need more details about the cars
