I would say you should be able to hit you're goal without a problem.. Could be lower depending on traction and how these questions are answered. How much stall are you running? What gears? How much spray? Are you spraying out it out of the hole? Do you have a transbrake? How much does the car wiegh? BTW nice setup man.. Hope you surpass your goal..

Stall is a ProEdge 3400
Gear ratio is 4.11s
Nitrous 2 stages total of 350 probably and out of the hole and off the transbrake
Car should weight right around hopefully 3000 to 3100 no driver have not weight it but last time it was 3400 and we have done lots of weight reduction

We really think we should be able to run the number

Nice looking setup!

Oh yeah! You should have no problem getting low nines or better once its dailed in IMO.. I saw the 4.11s on a 3speed, is it a solid roller? How high you reving 8500+? What tire size 30/31 tall?

Its not a solid roller its Hydraulic it its also good for 7500 no problem
we have how ever thought about the problem of running out of gear and we could go with 30" tire size or going down to 3.73 if need be.

We have a similar HKE setup in our LSX 2001 Mustang. With only a 200 shot we ran 5.82 @ 122mph in the 1/8th! Dynoed 540 RWHP on motor!
