Could happen, I see your engine combo and raceweight making you like an 11.6 car... So what shot would you need to hit 9's, at least 200 if not 250-300, especially if you use a progressive.

Weight can really make a big difference.

If you could run lower 11's on motor, then you might only need to spray 200-225 to run well into the 9's.

One user "Top Fuel" always impressed me he went very low 11's with a TP4000 and 3.73's, but he was also lighter... But I think he went like 11.2@120mph NA which is sharp. But I think he was 3300 raceweight at 700 ft altitude.
