Default Unusual 'how much' question

Say you have a F-Body with a race weight of 3300 lbs in perfect VHT-treated track conditions, perfect DA/sea level ... ... perfect weather, with perfect traction and a perfect launch in an A4 with Yank SS3600 T/C ... how much RWHP/RWTQ (with T'C UNLOCKED) will it take to pull the wheels off the ground.

PS: I realize nobody's perfect, so perfect really means 'damned good'!!!

Don't know if it helps but.Old setup YankSS4000, 3783lbs descent prep of the track 80* at 1100' i pulled one wheel on BFG drag radials 323 gear. At the time was using stock trans and made 437/ 446 on the motor 2 passes later pulled both tires on a 150 hole shot the trans died before the 60' was out.(Reaction shell shattered)

I'm just over 400 RWHP (Yank SS3600 w/3:73's) with T/C UNlocked. Suspension is HD Bilstein's, STB, LCA's, P/H bar, HD Adj torque arm, relo brackets on 275/40/17 MT ET Street drag radials ... waitin' on Strange 12-bolt (33-spline) since 11/17/2005. When the 12-bolt goes in, will I be able to do a clean pull of both front wheels with what I currently have?

Also another question (sorry, but, I have no experience with nitrous): Once the rearend goes in, 90/90 setup with DP 200-wet is awaiting installation. Will I make high 9's with the 200 jetting or should I go 250? To be truthful, I'm afraid of going 250 ... even on forged internals, that's quiet a bit of spray. I'm not stopping 'til I make 9's, consistently.
