I understand this is a rather broad question with many variables but as a rough guide, how much horsepower would it take to power a '71 superbug to a 13.5 second quarter ?

Cheers,

My old 2332 with 140 rwhp ran a 13.0 in Cols stock but stripped out std early beetle with slicks and close ratio box. Engine was FK 87, 48 IDA's, 9.7:1 44x37 max ported 043's without welding.
