Upper 500 to 600 rwhp with a stick.. If you dont know how to drive you can have all the hp in the world and not hit the the number .. I have/had 650 rwhp with an auto and ran a 9.2 where there are people over 800 rwhp that cant even get into the 9s.
Good luck!!

sounds like should be do able. my setup should make 800rwhp or more according to the experts. I will need some seat time with that much power. to feel comfortable with it. thanks for the input guys will keep you posted.

I think a well driven, weight reduced manual transmission with 60fts around the 1.47-1.50, at sea level with fantastic air say -1000DA could do it with around 575rwhp/520rwtq. Thats what i'm hoping for 
I got the 10.81 at 130mph down with 444rwhp in a manual with a 1.55 60ft.

its going to depend a lot on the driver and the setup.
most guys like myself need around 140ish traps to crack the mythical 9 second barrier.
my car makes low 700's on a DJ and tips the scales right at 3500#.

i'm hoping to do the same thing this year.
about 800-850rwhp
6 speed
3.73 gears
28 inch tall tires
with a 5000ft DA
i would really like not to break a third diff this year, so i'm going to try and do it on a 1.6 or 1.7 60' and save some parts
