Is 440 RWHP enough for an 11?

That is DAYUM hard for me to believe.
SOAP,
this spring I might have you take my truck down the track once or twice. I should be about 430'ish rwhp and 51x-52x rw TRQ.

I should be at least in the mid 12's, if not low 12's, but knowing the crappy conditions of the tracks up here (except stanton) I won't get there.
I have a video of me spinning down the track (smoking the tires) all the way through first and 1/2 way through 2nd. Dayum truck was sideways down the track. Of course that was at Milan raceway

One more thing I will add. The track you run at can be a big factor also. We have 2 tracks within 150 miles of each other here.
I consistently run about a tenth quicker and about 1mph faster at one over the other.
They have a good track in Houston also. I beat my best by .15 when I went there in April last year...and it was 20 degrees warmer when it happened.
There is also a quick track the northern boyzz get some of their bests at, but I can't think of the name of it.

My best time before slicks was a 13.5, running constant 13.6's spinning on a stock converter. With the addition of slicks and the same mods, I ran a best of 13.19 @102, 1.84 60', and consistant 13.3's. My mods are 2# upper, magnaflow mufflers (lost low end torque), and LFP 12" filter (probably hurt me), with Lakewoods. So there's .3 - .4 with just slicks with mild mods. I would think it would be as good and a little better being a more modded truck.

Possible 11's
I'm running 395rwhp and 492rwtq best 12.29@112.43 with1.72 60' lost 300lbs over winter and improved aero and suspension. I think 11.90's possible. My whole goal is to get the very best I can get with what I got. And then go nuts with turbo set up and skip the 10's. All it takes is $$$$$. Ed
