What would you say the maximum potential of a 327 is? I have a friend that wants to rebuild one that will never see the street and only the strip. His goal is 9 seconds.

The 327 is good for high revs, but I don't know of too many that are pushing 900HP and from what I know hes going to need it. I'm just figuring this from a 4000lb pickup with driver in it and that seems to be a fair weight IMO.

If it were me I'd go with the saying, "Theres no replacement for displacement!", but I figured I would see what you would do you were to do such a thing?
