How many of the 5500w elements would I need for a 30 gal system?

Depends on how patient you are:

How much faster does 9000-11000W heat compared to 5500W?

A 5500W heating element such as the one we use with our standard 30A control panel will raise the temperature of 1 gallon of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit in approximately 1.6 seconds. 9000W reduces this time to 1.0 seconds. 11000W reduces this time to 0.8 seconds.

Some real world examples:
- Heat 30 gallons of strike water from 70F to 155F: 68 minutes with 5500W, 42 minutes with 9000W, 34 minutes with 11000W
- Bring 24 gallons of wort from 150F to boil: 40 minutes with 5500W, 24 minutes with 9000W, 20 minutes with 11000W

I use 10,000W in a 15gal setup, I enjoy how fast it is but its a bit excessive I admit.
