What does this thing end up weighing in at? Anything near or under 3k lbs I think it should easily go 8's on anything north of 20PSI on that turbo.
I think the turbo will only make ~28-29PSI on a decent flowing setup, engine will probably take every bit of it. Wastegates are overrated... mine was unplugged for a month and I didn't even notice, other then not being able to run less then 26lbs.

Yea should be about 2850lbs with me in it.
The suspension really needs work. Its all stock.
And a problem will be launching as i dont have a transbrake but do have antilag and i can build 4psi at launch.
And i live in Arizona, we have shitty air here compared to other places.
Well see what it does on the 21st. I just wana see a 9sec pass or 150mph trap.

I think you'll get it! The Wallace racing calc says 2850lbs only needs about 575hp to crack into the 9's and your well above that!

Car sounds awesome!
9s for sure as long as you can get it to hook somewhat.
Check this guys thread out. It's a sloppy rotary build.
He's using stock mounting points with a narrowed explorer 8.8. I forget what shocks he's running but they're nothing special at all.
