Not sure if you are asking me, but if you are I don’t know. I haven't dynoed the car yet. My guess is in north of 450RWHP, but south of 500RWHP.
As for safety equipment, a helmet, fire extinguisher, gloves, pants, cotton clothes are required. Basically, the same gear you would need to go to the drag's, plus an extinguisher. If you are reaching over 190 then you need a roll bar too meet the requirements. When you start going over the 200 mark I don’t know if it is mandatory, but a parachute would be a good idea. The shutdown area is ½ a mile.

Very impressive. I'm looking to run the Texas Mile after I finish up with my car. I want to break 170 but with an LS2, if I put a cam and 92mm FAST, I'm afraid I still may not be able to break that number. Plus I have 4.10s, so my gearing really isn't great for the mile.
