My car.
And Triple Threat's car if 9's are just not enough.
I don't think he means cost-wise, I think he means set-up-wise.
Here's the formula I have always seen :
HP = weight
. [ E.T. / 5.825] ³ , (Where weight is the total weight of the vehicle, including driver and fuel.)
If you got a Marauder down to 4,000 lbs at the line :
4,000
[ 9.9 sec E.T. / 5.825 ] ³ , which equals about 815 HP
So it would take whatever you need to get to 815 HP (on paper) - what do you think THAT would take ? That's the question.
Plus everything necessary to get that 815 HP to the ground : built trans, built driveshaft, built diff, sticky wide slicks, etc etc etc.
What would THAT take ?

Already have that.:bandit: just not slicks
How much rwhp does your car make?
Boss 5.3 MMR1000 stroker, Vortech Jt trim supercharger. Built lentech 4r70, 3500 stall convertor. 4.10 rear gears with a Detroit Locker. Fuel system is dual gt pumps w/ a kenne bell bap. Non return.
Instead of asking what would theoretically be needed to run 9's, why aren't we asking what would actually be run by that setup ?![]()

Curious as well. What's your boost? Numbers at the wheels?
Builder Of Badassery
18 lbs boost, made 592/571 with a slipping belt.
Take it to the track to see what it does with the present set-up and go from there.
