A high 11 sec 1/4 mile time can easily be obtained with 350whp in a 5th gen on slicks. Any more HP than that and faster times are difficult. Traction becomes a huge obstacle as well as drivetrain strength.
No matter what you do with a FWD "street car"...RWD will always have a big advantage.
Not to mention...the Datsun's only 2700lbs...it's not as heavy as people think....and with a 255/50R16 MT ET Street under it and a factory independent rear suspension....well....sub 2.0 60ft's are VERY easy....

sub 2.0 60's may be very easy but 130mph traps in a 2700lb car with 350whp aren't so easy
and in another honda that was built by the same man that's building this one on a car not setup for drag at all just a lowered civic with a slick went 12.0 with under 400whp so with another 100whp at least 11's would be easily attainable
also you need to know that many guys with 550whp b series setups don't give two shits about streetability
