Jason,

If you assume a race weight of 3500 pounds, your going to need about 650hp at the crank to break into the 9s, assuming a very well tuned chassis. I think a t76 is capable of that given a properly designed system. Just my 2 cents. I am sore guys will more experience can be even more helpful.

im going to say its too small for those cubes. Kyle had trouble with his 76 on a 370. I say check out an 88mm for that 402.

The T76Q will probably barely squeek into the 9's if everything else works well. The difference between the Q and the S is that the S will barely squeek into the 8's.

The old Q-trims aren't very efficient on engines like the LS1's, but you may could get there.

I'd bet with an auto and a stock cube LS1 you could go 9.40's at 3500 pounds with a 76 Q-trim.
