10.9 on 17" drag radial

How much power would be needed to run a 10.9 on a 275/40/17 drag radial?

Has anyone done it?

A lot of power that would have to be limited down low to avoid crashing the car. It would take about 550rwhp to run 10.90 with a 3500 lb car with a good 60'. Probably 650rwhp. You would have to make up for your low end losses in 3rd gear. Plan on trapping around 137mph to do it. You will need a lockup converter to keep the rpm down up top also. No fun on a 25.6 inch tall tire imo.
