Default Are 9's possible??

Hey guys are 9's possible Twin Stage II T-60 Turbos, forged engine topped with West Coast Racing Stage II heads, and a custom turbo cam w/ custom converter. I haven't decided on cam, nor converter yet, but I will definetely have a 12 bolt w/ 3.73 gears as well. Short block will be brand new custom built for me by LME with my LQ9 block. Do you think I could pull 9's?

you sure want an answer bad dont you? shouldnt one forum be enough?

anyways, it all depends on how much boost you're making, how well the cam matches the heads for your specific application, and what kind of stall speed you need, how how your suspension is set up, what tires.....the list goes on.... if you want an answer from the guys who know something about going single digits you have to be a LOT more specific.

I'd say yes, maybe a bit higher gear, or a tall tire. Of course w/ traction...much tuning...get videos
