How much power do I need to put down to the wheels to get into the high 12s assuming car has LSD/clutch/sticky tires?

 

Depends greatly on weight, suspension, aerodynamics... etc, etc.

What type of car do you want to make go into the 12's?

 

If it's your car i would say about 260whp

One in sig hehe. Plan to upgrade the clutch and add an LSD. Might upgrade the brakes first, but then going with a turbo setup. Probably going to piece a setup together and just wondering what kind of hp goal I need to set in order to achieve these times.

 

Really? Damn, I could get that with a Greddy kit. There is another member on here with a 99-00 Si and greddy putting down 256whp @10 psi.

 

i don't recomend the greddy kit though.
go with a drag or rev hard kit, they make more power.
I ran my time on street tires spinning through 2nd, i est my power to be at 235whp..but what do i know?

 

a local guy has a 99 si that put down 315whp @14psi and runs mid 12s with slicks, full interior and roll cage. not sure about the turbo setup but i think its t3/t4, stock bottom end with low compression head gaket.

How the hell did he pull 14 psi on the stock bottom end??

 

A dyno and some way to tune the car would be my guess.

 

Yea, Id say proper tuning.

 

he owns a speed shop, so he know ho to tune it well. he only runs 14psi at the track and on the dyno. i'm not sure if he uses race fuel or not.
