408 and a little juice! Mine is 3600# and I'm about there with a little fine tuning in street trim. I'll be there for sure with slicks and open exhaust. And I'm not really spraying that big of a shot.

I'd say forced induction would be the easiest way to get into the 9s on pump 93. A turbo would be the way to go, low boost for the street and turn it up for the track. It's even easier when you add a 2 stage/progressive methanol injection setup to the mix.

At 3500#'s I went 9.7x's multiple times in 1500-2000 DA on pump last season with 427 ci, and a 150 shot. Plan to be deep in the nines this year and on pump still.
If I had it to do it over I would of built a turbo set-up, but 400+cubes + n20 will easily get you there.

Turbo motor stock size to 427, low compression 8-1, run the meth/water injection, 2 stage boost controller, also a turbo motor is much easier on parts than running a motor and spraying it with a 200 and up shot of nitrous. Best way, turbo, cheapest way, nitrous. How long will a motor running to 5500 rpm with good parts, pretty much forever. I lived by kenny duttweiler's shop and have seen a ton of small blocks making 800 hp on pump gas @ 5500 rpm, with motors that are not even close to as good as some of the LS1 stuff today. When you can make 1800 horse power with a motor under 300 cubic inches, I'd say it is the way to go.
