As far as I know, there are 2 member's on here that have ran in the 9's. One is a stock frame, 421 on alky & the other is a stock frame 443 on race gas. I would start with studying them 2 set-ups, just my OPINION!

Damn it I totally thought when I looked at your sig well that's weird it says 1/4 mile right there EPIC FAIL lol so how do u think a 20mm DM would do time wise on a custom chassis with spray?

 

LOL!

 

IMO, the best advice I can give. Cut your teeth on the 1/8 mile, smaller motor, stock frame & no spray. That's based on what your experience level is on asphalt.

Here's a little back ground on our asphalt history. While it doesn't compare to Dan's impressive runs. I do remember seeing him struggle in his early days on asphalt. It takes time to gain the experience you need to run 1/4 mile.

 

2005 we built a stock frame, stock cylinder, 7mm, 1-5 override, 417cc 1/4 mile quad.

Our 1st 2 passes was a 12.30 & a 12.06. We toasted the clutch in 2 runs. With 3 more times to the track we were running mid 11s with a best of 11.59.

 

Fast forward to our last 7 runs of the year. We switched to alky & a 1-4 manual 5&6 override. After toasting plenty of clutches, not knowing shit about alky & having scary rides clutching the 2 high gears. We managed a best of 11.38 within 37 runs of our 1st year.  

 

2006 same combo as we left off.

 

Around 77 runs into the season we ran our 1st 10 @ 10.95. After much carnage, toasted clutches & blew 2 motors up. The stock cylinder came back to life as a 443cc stock cylinder & we bought a cub cylinder 443cc.  Our best times we in the 10.80s with the Cub cylinders.

 

2007 running the cub cylinders, 443cc.

 

Not a great year & not any improvement from 06. We was doing a lot of testing

 

2008 same combo as last year, but went back to race gas.

 

This was a one of our best years for performance. Even though we switched back to race gas. We started out running 10.80s. We bought another set of cub cylinders done by Wicked Motorsports. We ran our best time of 10.23.

 

2009 we decided to go hill shooting. LOL!

4th trip out, I had a major accident. Was out of service for about a year & a half.

 

Feb, 2010 I started building a new chassis set-up to help with my recovery.

We didn't change the motor combo, but totally changed the stock chassis set-up. I could tell this set-up was going to be much faster than the old chassis. This was one of our best years period for performance.

 

My 1st pass (Sept.) on the quad since the accident. My 1st pass was an ill mannered run that netted one of our best times at our track. Then I settled in & ran our best pass at our track of 10.39. Our track is typically an easy .3 - .4  slower than the lower elevation tracks most run at.

 

Tedder & I have pretty much followed the same path of performance capabilities. If I remember right he had just ran his 1st 9 sec. run Sept.

 

In Oct. after some impressive 1/8 testing & getting kicked out of a track. We decided to run the best track available & got our 1st 9 sec. runs.

 

Maybe that will give you a small picture of what it takes for 2 normal or un-normal Joe's to run fast in the 1/4. I have around 800-900 1/4 mile passes. I'm sure Tedder has many more than that with 3 quads.
