5.90s will require one hp per four pounds race weight. At 3000 race weight, that would mean about 750 hp actual, not dyno. So if you have DA of 2000 feet, you can see a need for a car/driver weight of 2900 or less, depending on $$$ spent to build hp.
Disagree it would take anywhere near that.
Where are you geting info from?
I raced with a 3,000 lb dart, 499 with indy 440-1 bowl ported heads, good sized roller, 14x32 tires. Went 9.50s on gas at 12.8 compression, 9.30s on alky injected. We race in MN usually at 2200 da (ok air) to 4500 ( hot). A motor dynoing at 750 hp won't make near that at 2200 da and humidity.
