Cheers and happy new year!

This is no heads up class in the NHRA for your car. The 9.90 class is known as Super Gas and it’s a throttle stop class dominated by open cockpit roadsters. Look at the 10.90 class aka Super Street which is typically a backed halved ladder bar or 4 link car but it too is a throttle stop class with many competitors running at least 135mph and many running a bbc making 800-1100hp. In both of these classes, a transbrake and a delay box are the norm. That said, my honest opinion is your car as it’s currently powered won’t be competitive in super street as well.
