Whats the hardest rule to get around in your workstock/streetstock class?
Just trying to get a idea of what to shoot for, and wondering whats working for other folks. In my area I'm sure I'll have to be knocking on 600HP to touch the dodges.. Lets hear it
The turbo is going to be the hardest thing to get around IMO. Since 6.4s are making 580hp with stock turbos, you need to make at least 550-600hp to be competitive just with those..

To make 600hp, you're going to need at least a 71mm turbo or a 68mm FMW.. Most work stock class rules state that you must run a "stock appearing turbo"... There are no 71mm stock appearing turbos, much less a stock appearing turbo running a 68mm FMW. LOL
