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

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.
