Hay this is my first thread. my question is how much power dose it take to run 12's. My car has 3000 stall,4.10 gears,weight is about 3400 lbs.Thanks for any comments.

 

Usually takes close to 400HP to get into the 12's in a 3400lb or less car.

 

Depends a lot on how well the rest of the car is setup for the stip.

My friend has an '02 Camaro v6/M5 with intake/exhaust, tuning, weight reduction (3100 lbs at the line), and suspension, and he can run a 13.5 @ 100. He's prolly putting no more than 200-215 hp to the wheels.

What is your current setup?

My setup is 1977 camaro,about 310 at the wheel,at the line 3400lbs.
like i said 3000 stall,4.10 gears open exhaust. i just finished puting all together and the track is closed. just trying to get a guess on what it will do.
I'm hoping for 12's. i took it to a speed shop and had them tune the carb and timing. so i think the carb is about as good as it will gets. thanks for the reply

 

another factor is suspension, rear end and tires. If you can't hook it up you won't go anywhere. but yeah roughly 400- 450 Hp in your car w/ a good suspension, rear end and decent tires will prolly get you into the 12's good luck. If you drive good that may also help

 

thanks I have stock leafsprings and gas shocks. As far as tires 10" wide m/t et street. It hooks up good.
