I have already talked with Shane about this and have a setup in mind if I need it :) Shane already broke it down for me...

I see what you are saying. I'm just saying 10s isn't no small accomplishment.
I see where you want to make sure that power wise shooting for 10s isn't out of the question.
but with guys like ron and many others running 10s on stock turbo evos, you should know your question. Luckily with the net there are tons of examples to make estimations off of.
You guys don't have a Curt Brown in the EVO X crew do you?
I know he is going to a 8 or 9 now. DSM sad.

While I agree with scheides on stop being PRO bench racers and just worry about learning shit, I must say 500whp at DB is some serious fucking power. I hope it shows my language.
My car prob. made 370@DB at most on teh 16G (Only setup I got solid numbers on)
It took me a 2 times at the track with no issues to get my times from 12.0 to 11.7. There is a lot to learn about the car when you are drag racing.
Also I agree with scheides about talking about 10s like its nothing, Halon spent years building that clean DSM and diff. setups to get where he did. While you guys will for sure have the power to do it, whether you can or not in your first 2-3 outings is another thing.
Only problem with this logic of just running out and running times is the turbo setup. Shane made tons of comments on this when we were at BIR. A 16g car is easy to be consistent on. Stock frame turbo is probably similar, depending on size; the bigger it is, the harder it will be to be consistent. An fp black might be tough, I know trevor struggled a bit with his.

^True. I set my holset (middle sized?) to 20psi and ran 12.0s all day.
Street action was 30+.
I'm not against anyone here, in my eyes if you making the power and you spent all that $$$ you better run the times.
I say spray the fuck out of it. I can get a direct port kit if u need it.
