I thought lovefab broke into the 9's or maybe it was someone else but pretty sure it's been done.

Nope there is no proof that Factor X or Cody has run in the nines. Factor X ran a 10.02 and the next fastest is 10.39 by CCathey(who is sometimes here on prime) . So someone needs to run in the nines soon.
What are you planning to do with this when complete? The only way you are gonna make that kind of power would be with race fuel, which is going to get kinda expensive after a tank or two....lol. Or with in E85 which isn't available to us herecentral NJ. Level 10 had given me a price of around $6-8k to build a tranny for my RS6 that would handle 800hp. To be honest when my car was making 600/525 HP/tq it really wasn't much fun unless you were playing highway bomber in 5th gear due to loss of traction. It's not much fun going sideways at 100mph in 3rd gear. But good luck and be safe.

Out of curiosity, is the automatic Level 10 tranny you are referring to a completely custom NSX application? FYI, there was a member BAYNSAC that had his automatic tranny built by Level 10 to handle the extra HPs from his Prospeed Turbo kit; end result was catastrophic tranny failure with about 360WHP to the wheels.
I remember Adam suruwatari breaking records in his Nitto sponsored Nsx back in the day, I don't heare any one make reference to his car maybe it's been to long or he dosent count, if I am not mistaken it was fast.:biggrin:

Fuel question:We are running E85 & yes it is available all over Florida

I believe Level 10 was much cheaper than that for the Nsx
My car at 600hp with
Nitto 555R 305/35/18 Drag Radials
Dead hooked off the line must be the tires you had on .
Also the car will be set-up with boost by gear so it will only use want it can handle in each gear.
if you want to minitub that thing, I can do it for you.
Would look good with a 10.5W in the back of it...
Let me know.
I always see so much speculation of this can't be done. Yes it can. Might take a custom built tranny and axles. Like the OP said boost by gear and trial and error. Where there is a will there is a way
Where there is enough bankroll there is a way
Good luck, but I'm just being honest here, I don't think it's going to be that easy. Factor X tried every manner of tires and it was hard to get it too hook. The main problem I see is that even on a 305 wide tire (and I think you need a wider tire) you aren't getting the full tire contact patch and that is with the camber completely adjusted to the max. Then when the car squats under boost, it makes it even worse as the suspension moves up and tires rotates in. You'll need some sort of camber correction kit to make sure the tires get full contact.
And IF you happen to manage to get full tire hookup on launch, all that torque is going to wreak havoc on your your entire drivetrain from your lug bolts all the way up to your clutch. It will be quite frustrating to play the game of find your weakest link, fix, then find the next. Perhaps you'll get lucky, but I wasn't able to find many stock components in the drivetrain that could handle the 600+ ft. lbs. of torque and they never broke at the same time (only sequentially). And dropping the engine every single time got very tiring and expensive.

It is a simple equation......learning curve + money = 9 second pass.
Vegas maybe your under the assumption that we are trying to go 9 sec flat in the 1/4 mile that is not the case we are expecting to break into the high 9s like around 9.9-9.10 in the 1/4 mile. Also everything you mentioned above is exactly what we will need to achieve that goal>>>HP + Tires + Clutch + Tranny + Good Launch = 9 sec 1/4 mile.
