How would you build a low 10’s street car

All thoughs new combos are with factory power adders. If I added 12-15lbs of boost? 8s no problem. Possibly nipping into the 7s. My cage wouldn't pass for that performance. Drive train would probably hold for a couple dozen runs. But 1000 horse will find a weakness. And exploit that weakness over and over. The mid 8 second stockers are stripped to the bone by some very talented sportsman teams. Scratching out every possible HP rules allow. Very few can compete at that level.

I know it has the word "Stock" is in the class name. But make no mistake. They are race cars.

I made the referance to the stock class for one purpose; to outline some of what it takes to make a street motor reliable with some boost. Not to the level they do, but as an example of what might need changing. Like i said earlier- a stock 485 hp 6.4 should get forged pistons and rods for some where over 4 psi boost? Then you can push it some for short bursts, but certainly not to the level of a factory drag car.
