680rwhp on a single nozzle netted a 9.7@144mph.
540rwhp N/A with a tight converter went a 10.4@133mph w/1.58 60'
800rwhp??? (never dynoed with direct port) on the bigger shot it went 8.9's @ 150+ mph.
Big shot times soon to come!!!

The car is under the knife currently and will be back up and running soon.

Hard to get a rwhp number on cars running in the 9's. I have a 3750 lb race weight and run 9.52 @ 142 w/ a big shot. On motor I have 490 rwhp thru a 5200 stall converter. I wont spray on the dyno. Seen too many cars blown up that way.

So what would it take for basically a 1LE SS 6M to run high 9s. I am not sure what the vehicle weighs, my goal is 550whp on the motor. Then maybe a shot to get in the 9s

Yeah we made 633 at the tire and ran a 9.12 through a TH400 Its really hard to get accurate RWHP on automatic big convertor stuff.
You are going to have shift the hell out of that thing to go fast.

I was only showing 676 on a dynojet when I went low 9s @ 148 also. I have no idea what it was dynoing when it went 8s. Big stall cars just dont seem to do well on dynos, well some do and some dont anyhow.

Roughest thing with an M6 is to get a good a good 60' without leaving various driveline parts on the starting line

It is going to be tough to go 9's with a stick. You can pretty much see a pattern here that just about everyone in the 9's is quoting rwhp thru a big stalled auto.

Also note the raceweight of these cars. I'm probably just over 800rwhp thru the stall at a 3700 lb race weight to get a 9.4 timeslip. While others are able to do it in the 600 rwhp range at a race weight of 3300. It's almost like you get a 1/4-1/2 a hp per pound that you drop from your car. I just made frriends with a guy with a plasma cutter and some major aluminum/chromoly welding skills. I think that I will start to barter with him here real soon.

Thats flywheel HP, using ET for HP estimates is iffy at best.

9.085 @ 149.73 at 3190 LBS is my best Naturally Aspirated time and speed.

I have no idea how much horsepower that is, different programs and formulas come up with varying results.

How much HP do I have?

Its just a Solid roller iron block Gas ported pistons with a set of 6 year old heads and a fast 90/90 with custom direct port and progressive controller. Tranny is a GM powerglide and a neal chance converter. We will be hitting the big shot this season and will be looking for some mid 8's @ over 155mph!!!
