Default Are 9's possible

Hey guys are 9's possible Twin Stage II T-60 Turbos, forged engine topped with West Coast Racing Stage II heads, and a custom turbo cam w/ custom converter. I haven't decided on cam, nor converter yet, but I will definetely have a 12 bolt w/ 3.73 gears as well. Short block will be brand new custom built for me by LME with my LQ9 block. Do you think I could pull 9's?

You could make it into the 9's with ONE 60mm turbo at low altitudes. Twin 60-1's are good for 1200 to the tire through a stick, and could take you to 8's.
