depending on your launch, good 60', suspension mods, on a d/r you would be correct in your assumption

It depends on more than just peak power, but generally, with that kind of power and good traction you might even see a high 11 second pass. Gonna take some good driving though.

What is your motor setup? Any suspension? Tires?

With a good 60 I'd say 11s.

<<<car ran 12.7@109 with stock crappy tires, stock suspension, texas heat and a very crappy track. And i know its not making 380rwhp. So i could see 11's easy if u plan on making that much power
