I think it will be a tall order, even with the cats off and running the CCW's.
Don't forget that the weather is predicted to be very hot and humid, so if you pump up the boost be sure to pump some 100 octane fuel in as well.
The DA is going to rob you of a lot of power...not to mention, the track will be hot and traction will be very tricky, no doubt.

Got the jacket but last pass i made was 11.1 and they never said anything so im hoping to do 1/8 mi untill last pass then go for gold. I know i need the cage but I hope they dont remember and I know a couple of guys there. Im gunna put the big pump in tommorow so I can turn the boost up to as much as 23 lbs if need be. If they are gunna give me the boot on friday because of no cage its gunna be because im going fast

9's in a 6 speed are possible but not an easy # to hit with a turbo car. We turned the boost down from 15 to 12.8 and were still all over the track with the drag package and Doug behind the wheel.
BTW Steve I was at the shop just before the 4th. and changed a few things. Lets just say we were spining the tires @ 120 @ 15 psi.
We didn't throw it on the dyno but I'm over 800 hp and 900 tq to the wheels now.
