On 9psi my ej is putting down 206whp on a conservative tune. Unfortunately Lacr (lacr.net), where someone could get up to 10 runs on a wed or fri night has been closed for a while now. So I'm just looking for the times of those who had around 200whp. What times can I expect? Thanks.

I'd say 14s. Hard to tell really. Are you a pro drag racer? Do you have traction bars? There are alot of factors.

if you cant drive expect low 14s high 13s
if you can drive and you ditch those shitty street tires on the track for some radials or slicks low 13s or high 12s depending on the gearing/tire size

Doesnt it make a huge difference whether the same car is putting down whp as NA vs. boosted--which mine is? There many other factors or course.

I absolutely have no experience dragging at a strip but I would think that it wouldn't matter because you wouldn't shift out of boost or the powerband. Honestly though does it really matter? Like everyone else has said your quarter mile time is mostly gonna depend on how well you can get the power to the ground and how good of a driver you are.

Wow, I'm surprised that not a single person has asked what tranny he is using. I feel that this piece of information will have a HUGE impact on what he is expected to run in the 1/4. In addition, some of you guys were talking about traction bars when he only has 206 whp. Gearing, driving abilities, and tires will be the factors here.

Well technically bench racing is against the rules.

My guess? 14s on street tires.

The only real way to find out is to take it to the track instead of having everyone take a wild guess. There are too many parameters to determine the outcome.
