How about an estimation, lets say i just show up to the shop with a viper and say "i want 1700rwhp, about how much will it run me?" lol
But there is one thing i do not understand, how do these cars hook? Like with that kind of power and torque i think running slicks off of a 60mph roll would be akin to me running my spares in the rear....in the rain...

I know how badass it would be to have 1000+rwhp in a street car, but what's the point when you are on drag slicks and the first three gears on the car are completely useless at WOT . . . .
Anyways, I'm just saying that unless its a dedicated built 1/4 mile car, I think its just too much power. It would be nice to have something that hooks below 100mph. 500-600whp will scare you shitless and you might have a chance of hooking on the street. In a light car like that viper, that should easily net you a low 10 second et with the proper tire/suspension setup.

we too k it to cars and coffee in houston last week
on the way home ran in to some other cars and ran them just for fun (it wasnt pretty)
we were running MT 345 drag radials on the stock 18" rims
from about 70mph on low boost in 3rd it hooks decent (assuming the tires are warmed up)
so addressing the issue of hooking up with more than 1000rwhp, with the car on the MT's as long as you modulate the throttle and only floor in it the end of 4th its doable
and with it on full tilt it will run 8sec 1/4 miles no prob
