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

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.

All I was getting at was the car has to be capable of a 10 first, then step two is lots of practice and driver mod. Yes a 10 isn't easy, but with the power I hope to make it is doable, that is my point.

Like I said, 10 is my goal, my car is now basically a drag setup anyway, and I will learn...and if i still need more power, 35r kit will go on over winter

Ps. I have seen people with dom 2's (much smaller turbo than a black) running low 11's at the track that was there first time out...so I guess I don't see the X's weight as a huge deal, nor the gearing.

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...

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.
