9's with a stock motor Lets say you bought a $2500 forged bottom end, could you run 9's with just nitrous and stock cubes + stock h/c?? All bolt-ons could be used. No more than 150lbs. of weight reduction.
Could it be done...how much nitrous....would it last?

Stock cube, yes. Stock h/c, I doubt it. Only way, would be to make it weigh 2900lbs, be forged and tuned for a 300 shot. Like brad8266 said, maybe a few passes, but not many before 
Oh, by the way, after being forged, the engine would no longer be considered "stock".

346's runs 9's on the motor, but not with stock heads and cam. You will have to do a lot more than a forged short block.

Yes I believe it is possible...
With the stock longblock on a 200 I went a 10.28 @ 129 in the dead heat of the summer....at a raceweight of 3400lbs.
So with a forged bottom end and another 50 with some negative DA I'd say that it is very possible - especially with some weight reduction...but someone else will have to see as I have changed to a cam only setup.

could definitely do it with the right cam and a decent bottom end. ATVRacers car is 3500 lbs and first time out with new cam it went 9.73s. take the heads off and should still be around a 9.9999
