I dunno. I've watched several Caddy CTS-V's run 10.30's at 4800' altitude on a day with bad air . . With nothing more than a tweak and street slicks . . And those Batmobiles came to the track under their own power. No trailer queens there . .

With all due respect, you're starting with a relatively heavy car and are probably optimistic about the output of your bullet . . We run 9 flats with a very healthy 582 in a 2700# Camaro and the math sez it's making about 940 HP.

Of course, again, we're racing at altitude where you have the benefit of heavier air. I can't remember a race (or pass) last year that didn't have a corrected air density of less than 7800' . . .
