...Kyle is part of the team at SGP Racing. If you search you will see that Kyle recently built a car for a customer that ran 10.30's, without the power level that you are talking about.
You DO NOT need nearly that much power to run tens. To build 1000hp to run tens is a huge waste.
My strongest advice is to use a good automatic transmission from the start. I'm sure there are other vendors, but Kyle can probably help you with that as well.
