    Short answer....a lot. An ADRL car weighing 2300-2400 lbs has approx 3000hp and runs 3.60 on avg. Assuming you have the absolute best of everything motor/drivetrain/etc wise I'd say at the very least you need a late model hemi fathead setup with either an EXCELLENT roots blower or a solid D/C screw blower. To answer the original question I think you'll need at least 2500hp.

    We went 3.96@188 with a 526 Hemi D rotor screw at 92 over with a clutch. 2750 lbs car. It does take a bunch to get there.
