Depends, a low 600 rwhp centrifugal setup will get you low to mid 130s. A 600+rwhp NA or nitrous car should get close to 140.

So just say after I get my car back from ECS and it makes 580 at the wheels, I could posibly be trapping in the 130's?

Is that right?

Depending on what tires you are running AND how you take off you COULD wind up with a high 3.00 60ft with a LOT of smoke!!!

If this helps, My car makes about 475 RWHP through a A4 and 1/4 10.6's and traps 129's.

Good Luck !

Thats with ET streets and I would think that with DR's it might be higher MPH. How is this beast gonna get any traction ?

Mike,

Your car makes 725 RWHP

and that equates to 850 HP at the crankshaft.

Far cry from the 650 HP you were first thinking about..

700 rwhp is going to take some practice getting down the track. 14X MPH should not be a problem provided you can get traction.

Mid to upper 130's. Maybe a 140 if you are lucky.
