Re: What does it take to run a 10? 500whp@DB, practice, or both? Neither?
lol @ this thread.
It's definitely on between me and Murlo  . But it's more of a "friendly on-the-same-team" kind of "on". I don't really care if he'll beat me or not, I'm rooting for both of us. |

Re: What does it take to run a 10? 500whp@DB, practice, or both? Neither?
Ok, well at least it seems people have decided that 500whp is enough power, with power being 1/10th of the fight for a ten though and Skill being like 1/2 and weight/traction being the other parts
Can i be on team Jacob? I think he will win too... |

Yup, so 275 wide tires should help, but then it is even more weight to spin.
The rims might be the first to go...or buy a second cheap ass light set with some slicks and AMS small brake kit |

You forgot a couple.
7. Have your car tuned beforehand, have a spare laptop battery for track tuning.
8. Don't forget your race gas.
9. Bring extra axles.
10. Fix boost leak.
11. Put IC couplings back on, again, and again.
12. Replace blown clutch in the pits that puked on the line.
13. Pick pieces of xfer case off the starting line.
14. Apologize to the track guys for picking up your xfer case parts off the starting line.
Just a few I could think of off the top of my head. Running 12's is a piece of cake, running faster than that gets increasingly harder.
You guys wouldn't be the first ones here to brag about theoretically running 10's right off the trailer. Hell, Swifty does it every spring.

Re: What does it take to run a 10? 500whp@DB, practice, or both? Neither?
I'll run a ten before both of you fools, hahahahahahaha cough cough! 
I am up near 460hp levels now and I bet I will still only run 11.1s. I hate my 6 speed I am sure it also hates me. 
Still on a single walbro on stock fuel wiring, 60K miles of straight E85 and still ticking. Take that all you dual/triple/special pump fools!
BTW, 8500rpm is the new safe rev limit for stock motor evos.
Sorry, I wanted to talk some smack too.
