also you need to know that many guys with 550whp b series setups don't give two shits about streetability
There's vids of guys with less HP than mine doing 12.5's @ 112mph.....so it wouldn't be much below 130 for an 11 second Z car.

The problem I always have with people who shoot for high HP numbers...is that they think the more they have the faster time they will get. In a perfect world...yes...unfortunately that's not reality. For example...there was a guy on the sentra board with a Spec-V who had full bolt-ons plus a bottle. He ran quicker times on a 35 shot than with the 75 shot. More power doesn't automatically equal faster.

I've seen 400whp civics run 12.0's as well...but adding 100whp more...unless it's set up for 100% drag....I bet it will get roughly the same times...maybe pick up a tenth. The MPH will jump huge though prolly pick up 5-8 there...

FWD street driveable cars are limited to roughly 400whp on a sticky tire IMHO...
