What 1/4 mile time would 850 RWHP get you?
Its a 91 octane engine. I would say 8 second 1/4 mile times....NO?

X amount of horsepower doesn't guarantee any 1/4 mile time, you have to have your chassis and suspension dialed in so it will HOOK. That's what I've been saying all along.
Assuming your chassis and suspsension has been tuned, that low 9 second power easy, of course it depends on how much your car weighs too.
You should go out to the dragstrip and look at everybody's setup, see what they run, etc and you can put the theory to the real test.

What is the proper chassis. What would need to be added/changed on my car for example to be a decent drag set-up?

need to get rid of those springs and put stock ones back on, Wolfe or Spohn rear sway bar, Madman or Spohn TA. The rest looks like you have. to get 8 or 9's you'll need and want a 10 point cage. Then everything has to be tuned in, that's takes a while to figure out. someone like madman can do that in a couple of hours cause he's a friggin genius.
go to drag racing forum, lots of good stuff there.
Most importantly its getting seat time at the track. Moroso has something today I believe that I wanted to go chekc out .
