How much rwhp to run 11's?
I am posing the question to see what is the minimum rwhp FD that has run in the 11's. I dynoed my car 2 weeks ago and it only make 293 to the wheels. With proper tuning I know the car can make between 340 and 375 at the wheels.
The best I have been able to run is an 12.5 et with my current horsepower. My car weighs around 3025 with me driving.
I am wanting to know how much power I am going to have to make to run 11's.
Tell me your thoughts and or experiences!!!

I can't give you horsepower numbers as teh car hasn't been dyno'd on it's current setup but I can give you a list of mods.
Spoolin93R1 hit the track tonight and ran 7.88 in the 1/8, that translates to a high 11. It's all really in the launch, the car made a 1.7 60' w/ nitto drag radials on stock wheels.
The mods:
Atkins streetport
Apex'i FMIC
Apex'i PFC
Apex'i GT spec exhaust
Apex'i intake
A few more little things, but this was also done on blown turbos creeping to 14 psi then falling off. The car is also untuned, only runing a basemap.
Actually looking at your sig you two have very similiar set-ups, sounds like a streetport would get you there.

12.5 with 293 hp seems really good. From what I was looking at, I thought I needed like 330-340 rwhp for low 12's. I guess I was wrong. But thats good news for me.

Thanks for the input so far...
I don't want a street port at this time. Once the car is tuned I want it to run only as lean as needed to hit 11's. I want this motor to last.
My best 1/8th mile thus far has been 7.98.
I have no problems with my lauches. I can turn 1.7 60's all day long.
Another questions...at what rwhp should I start worrying about the rear end of the car?

You have to realize that there are a lot more factors than just power that determine your ET. Traction, skill, the track, conditions at the time of the run, etc. all factor in. You'd be amazed what some sticky tires and a cool night can do for times.
That being said I think ~360 is a good estimate for an FD, for high 11s..

Alright.. as long as you know. I'm used to uneducated people saying "how much hp do i need to run X" (or beat X) and it gets old. Maybe you should have said that in the original thread. :P

400whp to run an 11 if youre real good.
400whp is the limit of the stock twins(and some)
350whp is the limit of the fuel system
350whp is about the limit of the stock clutch(mine anyways)
11's and 450hp are standards for single 7's, 20b's, and LS1's
blah blah blah

Car was stock port stock turbo with average bolt ons running apexi power fc basemap. Also had boot full of tools
