How much power to go 150 MPH?

What do you need to be putting to the wheels to go 150 mph in a six speed car in the 1/4? With a little weight taken out of it?

Around 850-900rwhp, at 3600-3700 lbs and a 6spd will give you 150mph.

Jay Leno and Tony Stewart had the 2002 special edition Trans Am, at Daytona I believe and had the car up to 155, in one two times around the track, so what ever that distance was.

Ok sure. Would you like to buy me a F1R head unit, AFR 225cc heads and a set of COG pulleys. I would be happy to.

That is exactly what I am looking to do in my 1997 LT1 T/A. 150mph with a 6-speed.

Just got the car back from Speed Inc. not long ago, going to install individual coil packs and a crank trigger and take it back to Speed Inc. for some more tuning.
