400 hp in a 3rd gen is more than enough to hit 12's! have fun!

Ha! I think not.

What is your race weight? What are your rear gears? Traction mods? What elevation do you run at. There is far more to it than just a magical hp number.

Wait 400 hp at the wheels or at the engine? If its at the wheels I would think in a 3400 lb car with very low gears such as 4.11.s you would see a high 11. Oh ya and you cant go anywhere with out traction.
