I'm looking to boost my 89 Civic with B16 swap and I really like to turbo kits at Go Autoworks . I've read several good reviews and positive feedback from other users here on H-T so I'd like to pick up one of their kits.

In order to select a kit, I need to have a power goal in mind and my question is if there is a relationship between horsepower and 1/4 mile times. For example, if I want to run a 12 sec 1/4 mile, approximately how much horsepower do I need?

Thanks!

Just noticed I spelled "relationship" wrong on the title but I can't edit it...

Wouldn't this be a question better served if posted in the Drag Racing forum?

250-300 will hit 12s all day

Too many variables to be accurate, weight, driver abililty, traction, etc are all factored in.

not to mention where you get your hp #s, such as dyno jet reads lower than a mustang dyno. Altitude, track temps, intake temps, also makes a difference.

More HP to the ground, the faster the times!
