Default 10's na/9's with bottle possible?

Hoping to go into the tens n/a and 9's on the bottle. My goals and setup seem inline? Car will see limited street use and I already have the cam setup, engine and trans and car/suspension.

3200rw malibu
1.76 glide with brake
4.10 gear
L76 motor (aluminum 6.0 with square ports)
Btr stage 4 ls3 cam (same as ls3 polluter)
Ls3 intake/92mm dbc tb
Undecided on 28x10.5w or 29.5x10.5 (might use the 29.5 on the street)
Nitrous outlet dry kit (150)

No converter yet, planning on calling ptc and having them set me up. expecting something in the 4-4500 range.

Anyone have a similar setup?

If 3200 is race weight with driver, 500HP will get you into the 10s, assuming you get the chassis dialed in. The nitrous kit should get you into the 9s...

The issue I see is the converter. If you get a nitrous converter, it might be too tight NA. If ou get one optimized for NA, you might blow through it on spray.

This right here
pick one....a high ten NA will only go high 9 blowing through the stall
A tight as **** converter will make it an 11.30 car on ***** and then drop to 9.60s on the hose
I'd definitely run the 28X10.5S Mickey with the stiff sidewall
It'll hook nice when you start opening the pill.....er ahh I mean removing the pill

I was hoping ptc could do magical stuff lol. My last converter from them went 3000 n/a and 4500 on an .063. Hoping a 4000rpm can couple good around 5500.

I hope to have it at 3200 lbs with me in it. I'd probably give up a touch n/a to get it back on the bottle. I don't expect to make 500 wheel, that's close to ls3 m6 numbers and I'll have a 6.0 and a glide with a fairly loose converter. Looks like I'll be at the edge of both my goals.
