So from all the horsepower calculators I have tried you need roughly 750-800HP to take 5500# into the 10s.
What would you need power wise to do the same in a 5 speed?
I was told by what I consider a very smart guy and well respected in the industry that it would take 12 - 1300HP. Does this seem right?
I don't see me keeping it together with that kinda power. Yes I understand that I am going to pretzel a few NVs on this journey regardless.
With suspension tuning and being able to drive the chit out of it what kinda power do you think a 5XXX# 5 speed needs to get into the 10s?
And please be constructive....I want the first nv in the 10s...are autos faster..yep..do I care...nope. I want to go 10.99 or faster in a 5 speed.
