Default Are 9s possible for me?

I ran a best of 11.43@118 (on average days 11.65 is about the norm)last year but I'm making some changes. I have no idea the race weight since the teak scales haven't worked it a few years. I know it gets tougher as you go faster but this will help me decide on a fast 92 or not.

99 ta
A4
3600 stall
Stock short block
Ported an milled 241s (Lloyd Elliot)
Tsp 224r
Lts
Cutout
S60 w 3.73
All other Bolton nonsense
Lcas & relos
Umi tunnel mt tq arm
Ce drag shocks
Strange sa coilovers up front
Kirkey seats 6 pt bar
150 wet shot
Truck maf
Ls6 manifold

1.63 60 on Hoosier da's with summit 5 star wheels.

I ran the above time less the spray and 3.42s instead of 3.73s. If the fast will dip me to a 9.9999999999 it's worth it to me at this point just to be able to say I have run a 9 second pass.

Weighed 3675 withe me in it years ago. Ditched zr1s for 15 in summits, removed front bumper support, a/c system, emissions hardware, rear seat. Then add back the weight of a 6pt bar, s60, and swap out seats for kirkeys. Your guess would be as good as mine. I'd go conservative and guess I'm back at 3600.

The spray should drop you about 1 second. The fast intake may be good for about .2 more. It won't get you to 9.99 but you won't be too far off.

Fair enough.

Bench racing and pipe dreams. I guess that's what I get for taking a season off then coming back all full of **** and vinegar.

I'd say bottom 10s to mid 10s. Wish you the best.
