If the MPH is there for an 8.9 run then no more power is needed to get the car there. The car set up needs to be there to get it done.
The Demon was run on race gas, on a drag pack, stripped down with the suspension tweaked for the 1/4 mile. Power is only a tiny bit of the equation when getting a car down the strip. Things get much more difficult as you get into the sub 10 second range. Put the Vengeance car on a proper drag pack with a solid trans tune and race gas with all the seats and extra crap yanked and there is probably another .5 in it if not more. DA also has a lot to do with ET and mph. No where that I know of right now is going to see DA under 2K if not 2,500. The Demon I believe also has a trick set up to launch the Auto at 4K or something like that. All you are going to get out of the A10 converter is possibly 2K. Slap a Circle D 4C in the ZL1 and things are going to get silly. Getting this car in the 8's shouldn't be hard at all when it is dialed in with good weather.
