408 Guys

How fast are most 408 guys going making decent hp..Im building a 408 right now afr headed big hyd roller, about 11.5:1 compression, fast 90/90 all the goodies, I 've got full bmr suspension(minus front) but it is in a completely full weight Hawk with a 6 pt roll bar.. Im seeing some other guys put up big rwhp numbers, in the 550-580 range, ill be consevative and say 525... How fast should I combo like this go?
Is weight going to kill me?
Because I really hate to gut the car, its so nice having EVERYTHING in it, the leather the full stereo the heat...
I think removal of the A/C and back seats is my reduction. lol

Please guys opinions are needed.

Mine consistantly runs low to mid 9's but it is a dedicated race car and fairly light weight.

Low 9's for now. Will be in the 8's when the track opens. Pretty much drag only.
