9.60 or even 9.40 is a LONG way from 8.90.

To make enough power to run 8.90 at 3200lbs you are looking at getting close to the 900HP level. In a great working car maybe 850 will get you close, but few folks really have GREAT working cars. I know the Wheatcrafts run a Gen 3 Hemi in their short dragster. It is not a TON faster than 8.90 but they have been running it for a few years.
