according to the HP calculator i have (and you can take this with a grain of salt) to run a 7600# truck at a 13.99 run it would take in theory ~550HP at the wheels and ~647HP at the crank.... to run 13.0 it would take in theory ~684HP at the wheels and ~807HP at the crank..... these numbers seem to be somewhat consistant when playing around with my truck's HP numbers and weight with the time i got off my G-tech..... but this is a guestimation and i know not what i am doing....

You are going to need about 460hp to run a 13.99, and about 560 to run 13.00. It does depend on how you are launching though. If you leave really soft, then add about 10hp. If you launch hard then subtract 10hp. For example at 565hp I was running 12.90's.
This should give you an idea though...

The 7600 lbs is actually a little above my "raceweight" anyway, as it was my weight when I went across the scales w/ a passenger, full tank and my tool box with probably a couple hundred pounds in there. My actual race weight would be closer to your 7300lbs I would imagine.
