I have an auto 95 mustang and my car is probably good for mid-high 11's in the quarter. I probably have around 350rwhp. I know when I was N/A, I made 271rwhp & 311rwtq and ran a 13.17@105 in 90 degree heat w/a 2.0 60 ft time. I would think 270-280rwhp is all it would take plus some sticky tires and decent gearing.
