Depending on the weight of the door car it takes 3000+ horsepower to get it done. We've been 4.30 at 2950 pounds on a 10.5W.
Does'nt quite take 3000hp to get it done in a door car. There is not a nitrous Pro-Mod in the country that makes that kind of steam, yet the quickest nitrous, door car is 3.81.
As far as "easy" 3s...no such thing. I have some auto Pro-Mod customers, who have spent thousands and thousands of dollars, to get from low, low, 4.0s, to that elusive 3 sec number. It's tough
When you get to that point though, it is usually not about power. If you have the power to go a low 4.0, you likely have the power to go 3s. It is all about the combination at that point and putting it down. When the stars align and you make that "best ever" pass, with your best ever 330 numbers and you best ever backhalf number, enjoy it, because it may be a while before you put that together again.....but thats what keeps us all going back. That elusive "best ever" pass

What do those cars weigh, Monte?
"The stars aligned" for us on the 4.30/180 with the SB Ford. Still lost to Murillo's 4.37(OUCH) at the SCSN race in November.

We're building a twin turbo BAE hemi right this minute. Bill has been a 10.5 guy so assuming he remains in that class it will be dependant on the weight of his car.
