Its going to take money! I think you can do it though.

If I was trying to get those numbers in a street driven Tbird, I would use a dart 4.125" block. forged steel 3.85" or 4" crank. Forged H beam rods, good pistons. AFR 205's (at least, maybe bigger) Keep static compression less than 9.0:1. Injection would probably have to be a stand alone DFI system like a FAST system, Haltech, Motech, etc. Big injectors - 60+ lb/hr. 90mm throttle body. TFS-R intake for a 351w might work, or youre better off with a Victor spyder EFI intake. You dont have to go huge with the cam, you would need something with 112*+ overlap, but to try to keep MPG dont go huuuge on the duration and lift.
Biggest primary 351w fox body headers you can find.

The turbo(s) would have to be able to move some air. You would need 12+ psi boost. Not an expert in turbo/models or sizing. Mavman probably knows. Big intercooler and maybe H20 injection for safety's sake.

T56 for the tranny. 3.25-3.55 rear gears with a Locker. You are going to need some major traction, slicks on the track are a must. Maybe have to use minitubs to get enough rubber.

Those basics might get you into the 9's. In any case, you also need to worry about saftey in a car that makes close to 1000hp. You would need one helluva cage to run at the track, harnesses, etc. Also, I know they exist, but I would never think that a 9 second car would be extremely reliable. 20 mpg might be really tough to attain.

It would be a very abitious project, if youre prepared for it, go for it. Otherwise get a new Gt Mustang and put a supercharger on it. It wont run 9's but it would be alot of fun.
