Also you need to wind tunnel test your car to see on how you can improve the aerodynamics. Can a 6 speed handle 1000 hp? Yes, but it has to be custom built. Rockland standard gear is building custom 6 speeds that can handle over 1200 hp. Actually, I heard it was up to 1500 hp, although you would have to contact Rockland Gear.
You car has not even went 10.50's yet. Sorry, the converter breaking on the first pass doesn't count. My friend's fastest street 69 Camaro runs in the 8.50's with around 1500 hp. He hasn't hit the 200 mph, but he is looking to go faster in time not speed. Also he prefers to remain consistant in his times.

E.T. has NOTHING to do with top speed. and I am sure your buddy could EASILY do 200 mph if he stays in the gas a couple seconds longer provided he had the extra gearing. What do you mean by this comment? 1000 hp is 1000 hp, That is enough to push just about anything to 200 mph.
Ans what do you mean my converter breaking on the first pass does'nt count?? I never made a full pass, the car went 10.50@137 letting off the gas, it obviously has much more in it. Are you saying my car does not make the power I say it does or what?? That is a little rude.
