Full interior you'll need around 350whp to get into the mid-high 11's. Its going to depend on your gearing, slick size, etc more or less. Technically the mid to high 300whp range you can run high 10's if you can put the power down.

Thanks a lot man. That's my brother's car. My car is the 99 Si in my avatar. I'm so pissed right now cause I just came back from the shop after trying to start my car with a new LS/VTEC setup after an 8 month downtime and the head gasket is leaking. I'm just venting, it's been so long since I've driven my car and I have been looking forward to finish it already...

we run a 92 hatch with an LS motor with srp pistons and a drag kit with a to4R. We run consistant 8.14's @ 97 MPH on 22" MT slicks. I have no idea what that is in the quarter though.

i got a red hatch that just made 503whp but previously i made 430 and ran 11.4 at 125 i know i could have done better but its so easy to just turn up the boost looking for some 10s maybe later at woodburn i tryed it at pir and ran a 11.5 at 127mph just burning out that track is made for fun not times. if you search for groundzero movies on the forum youll find movies of two 11 sec eks
