You can hit 400rwhp with 302 cubes, but its going to take alot of money n/a.
Boost or spray can get you there easier... but whats the fun in that lol

only prob is that was flywheel not rear wheel hp............personally I'd shoot more for of an et goal, the op may not need 400 hp if his et goal is lower than we anticipate

Of course i don't granny shift either

that is why the t-5 is coming out ahead of time and the 3550 is going in
By not granny shift, do you mean you don't shift normal, i.e. clutch, shift, release clutch? If so, what would be the advantage to shifting another way, such as double clutching (think vin diesel) at the track, where your up-shifting?

Launching at high rpms, side stepping the clutch and never taking the foot off the gas pedal

Ok gotcha. I was thinking of granny shifting vs double clutching which wouldn't make sense on the strip heh.

would not recomend to many power shifts on a stock trans, had a buddy who blew his t-5 to kingdom come by doing this! lol,
If you want 400hp look into doing a nice heads, cam, intake combo with exhaust, cai, injectors, fuel pump, maff, Throttle body. Then get it tuned, figure out were you are at and add nitrous until you are happy!

As for an et I like to eventually be in the mid 11's, but as for now my goal is to get into low 12's. The main reason I want low 12's or high 11's my brother has a 69 camaro that runs right at 12 second quarter mile.....a little sibling rivalry.
