How to be 11sec fast?

This is realistic in my books

Underdrive From 15hp to 1hp
Electric Fan From Approx15 to 1hp
Ram Air From 15hp to 1hp
Headers From 15hp to 1hp
Mass Air From ?? to 1hp
Ported, polished and milled heads 1hp
Ported polished intakes 1hp
Cam 1hp
Off Road H-pip 1hp
347 stroker 1hp
All other mods probably only add to about 1 hp

Underdrive 8-10hp
Electric Fan 8-10hp
Ram Air 15hp
Headers 15hp
Mass Air 8-10hp
Ported, polished and milled heads 40-50hp(if they are as good as you say)
Ported polished intakes 35hp
Cam 15hp
Off Road H-pip 15hp
347 stroker 50hp

that would give you about 450 fwhp.

But the big thing you are missing here, as ALL motor builters and performance guru's know, you can't just start adding hp numbers up...it doesn't work that way.

If you have a 225 hp car and add exhaust, a fan, pullies, rockers, and synthetics, then you would have a 290 hp car, and that is not how it works.

I mean if it was, my old car that had TFS ported heads, TFS Intake, TFS cam, exhaust, rockers, pullies, ram air, and a fan, plus others, then I had according to magazine claims, I had roughly 425 fwhp according to your rating method.

The only way to really find out is to run it and look at your mph, or just dyno it, and end this arguement.
