What does it take to run a 10? 500whp@DB, practice, or both? Neither?

I was on my way to a test day when my motor went down.

I look forward to getting booted out of the track and throwing my entry fee out the window, lol :) That would make me happy.

Lol, +1!

It would be cool to do a black vs black and we both get the boot on the same run...man the epicness!

I hope even my noob ass can hit a 10, otherwise I'm gonna see if Ron wants to try my car for a run or two to see what it can really do.

Good thing this is the bench racer's league thread, a ten...haha right :D Set your goals a little more realistic man, I'm gunning for high 12's!

I won't be happy without the 10 too. haha. last year with 336hp I was running 7.6-7.7 1/8th mile times which should be aroun an 11.5-7. This year should be a bit better.

Also, I'm down for the 11th if my car is.

Maybe we should line up for our first runs. :)

I'm down. I'll shoot some video. Dave can give me a ride there. lol.

I will have to think about this...

We are getting ahead of ourselves....we don't have cars that work, lol. Well I don't maybe you do, not sure since you don't have a build thread!

Scheides, I fully do not expect to run a 10 the first time out, I would be happy in the low 12's with the power I expect my car to make.

However, I think my car will be 10's capable on street tires. And with some lightweight stuff and slicks, maybe even 9's eventually, plus a shit load of driver mod.

I say again, the 10's are my goal for the car, not what I think i will run first time out, lol.

I want to make a few events if possible when my car finishes up, but need it back first.

I don't have mine yet no, I think yours will be done before or around the same time as mine.

You'll run at least 11's for sure, no doubt about that.

Slicks break things. Expensive things.

Yes, but I like to break expensive things didn't you hear? ;)

I won't get into slicks unless I really get into the 1/4 mile thing, i need to try it first, maybe I won't really like it, lol, who am i kidding.

I upgraded my diff pins, hopefully that saves something.

Off topic, but is your block still getting machined?
