Depends on cubes and how you hook up. 6 speed car is going to be hard, even with a beefy RPM setup. I'd guess a 1.3 60ft and 1100-1200rwhp.

The experts that have been there will chime in before too long and give better info.

Depends on weight and track elevation, but I would say around 950rwhp!

I agree with Bobby, at around 930 rwhp I went 155 at weight of 3640, my buddy Shane's car 99% same setup ran 157-same weight-maybe more.

Both cars are through an RPM 4L60E auto.

A 6 speed car making 950 should be able to mph a bit more than the auto.
