Would depend on tire and suspension setup as much as power

I drove an Mx5 last year that was putting down 273KW, and more than 700nm. It was quite happy to spin 3rd. I'm still smiling now...

But that wasn't a B series engine...

I don't know what gear the run was done in, and not my car, but scary fun.

I have spun 3rd with 185's (or 195's???) with about 100hp, some entry speed and a clutch kick...
Cheers,
