Re: How much power does it take to run 11s?

Some of your times are quick for the power you're making but some of your cars are pretty light...compared to mine. Even though I haven't removed much as far as weight is concerned, I really can't see how I could remove over 200 lbs of stuff to get my raceweight below 3500. I really do like having my ac in the summer heat.

Not exactly an 11, but I've been 12.0 @ 112 MPH with 303 RWHP in a 3448# '93Z with a 1.67 60 ft. time.

My car weighs about 3,400 lbs and dynoed 350 HP to the tires. Off the foot brake the car runs 11.30's at 120, with 1.65 sixty foot. With a different converter or a transbrake, the sixty foot should improve by about a tenth and run 11.00's.
