How much power do I need to run 9s?

What CWill posted is right my car put down 600-630HP (MD) with a race weight of 3030 w/ me in it and that's with decent driving.
That was before my latest round of mods on a 6262.
I do believe that Cessna's build was posted here somewhere that showed how much weight was taken out of it......it's def light.
I'd look into searching for the few threads from William's Red Evo that ran a 9sec pass on the stock motor and FP Black.....not sure what his car weighed though it did have some light-weight parts.

I'm probably over my head on this one. I just don't see 600 usable power from a stock engine. I had the FP black pretty high in boost. I'd love to drive this car into the 9s with a stock appearing turbo. Maybe that dream is just that, a dream.

Come on guys, Emery/STM can't give all their weight reduction secrets away! Obviously the STM crew has the weight reduction thing down to a science. There are plenty of ways to drop a lot of weight out of these cars, just depends how far you want to take it & how much $$ you want spend. Hell, I would be happy to get my car to 3000 without me in it (MR with minor weight reduction done)! Last year at Englishtown my car weighed 3350lbs with me in it, I weigh 190. I've dropped 100lbs+ out of the car already & still have a couple more things to do. Running 9s with a 450whp evo is awesome, even with it only weighing 2600lbs.
I'm guessing that run was stock turbo?? Nice job man!

I know Cessna's car was on I think Epic Motorsports MD before the 9.99, and might even have been on Buschur's dyno as well. I know the numbers varied a bit from dyno to dyno. Maybe that was the higher of them.

Good question. That car has been on and off of the dyno so many times. I will have to look back through the dyno plots but I am pretty sure it did it with like 446 or something like that.

I think it made 410whp or so on Force-Fed/Epic's Dyno & ran a high 10 at pretty much full weight...A lot of weight reduction done since then & power added as well...That was almost 2 yrs ago...first time Ricer ran 9s too!
