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

[Shane@DBPerformance]

The smaller the turbo, the easier it is to run a good ET for the power. It might take 360awhp with an Evo 3 16G or stock turbo Evo 8/9 to run 11.5, but with a bigger/laggier turbo it might take 50-100whp more. It's also way easier to launch smaller turbo cars. NLTS has made running bigger turbos and keeping them spooled much easier, losing boost between shifts is the ET killer on bigger turbo setups.
