How much power would it take to put a 3500lb car over 200mph?
Over what distance? 1/4, full mile, absolute??
As stated before, bodystyle means alot here too.

Sorry. 200mph in the 1/4 with a 69 roadrunner. I was guessing 2000+ hp.
Lotsa ways to make that kinda power these days.

My car currently has 730hp and runs 10's. Car feels really slow to me now.
Thinking about really stepping it up to bring back the fun. Thinking big turbo motor.
730hp @ 3500# should be well into the 9s. I'd square away the car with the current engine before I'd make a big jump.
Although, twins on a bigblock will certainly get rid of the "feels really slow" issue.

you should be well into the 9's w/ that kind of power. To hit 200 you might need to do a few things. Lighten the car up. Block off the grill, use a front spoiler lower the car.... I used an online calculator and a 3650 lb car would need about 1400 hp to hit 200 in the 1/4. Not saying that's too much or not enough, just what the computer spit out. As mentioned a wedged shaped car is going to do it easier than a brick.

1400 in a 3650lb car won't get anywhere close to 200

No Problem call these guys for engine details.. http://www.prolineracing.net/What about the chassis?? Set another $50K+ aside for that too. You are at dang near Pro Mod levels with that setup. Just look at Jimmy's Dart, not sure what it ended up running, but your over 1000 lbs more too  Id say $150K could get you out for half a season...maybe...

My calculator says about double will do the deed.

the guy with the silver coronet (Matt) goes 191mph on a german highway.
Might send him a mail. Car could go faster. it is a 440 with some good internal parts.
Dennis
Why yea, some template ported 906's, and atleast a 509 purple shaft.... LOL
no, he now has some indy heads, mechanical flat tapped cam, dual quads and a 2:76 gear.
maybe for you in the states 190mph is magic, but here we have lots of cars running 200mph
with less than 2000hp! 190mph is 306km/h and that is what he drove. measured with gps.
for what do you need 2000hp? for sure not to reach 200mph. an unlocked BMW M6 is close to 200mph and has little over 500hp.
I think the difference is he wants to do it in a 1/4 mile...not on a 2 mile run. apples and oranges.

I believe several old NASCAR Hemi Chargers, not Daytona Chargers, set several top end and close course records that where over 200 MPH a long time ago with NASCAR legal 432 C.I. Hemi 426 motors with single four barrel carbs on race gas  
again...different ball of wax. 1/4 mile is way different than a speedway car. They have what 2 miles to build up speed?
