I think the highest HP non-aftercooled V3 is Steedman. He is using meth though, with stage II? Blower cams.

LOL, Im not close to that^^^..But BBR's car goes to show how well Meth works, even at 21 PSI!!!!!Holy shit.Is that car still running good?
He just recently sold the car. I'm not sure who bought it.
and that answers the question how??
560rwhp here but with a aftercooler, built motor 8:5:1 compression, ect... This is with a s trim with a 2.85 pulley at 15lbs of boost.
Just got the Innovators west crank pulley and soon some cams and hoping to push the boost to 18lbs along with some other tricks up my sleeve but being kept a secret due to being asked to be kept that way.
I'm now at 542 rwhp and 482 ft-lbs of torque on 15 psi of boost. Still have the Paxton air/air aftercooler, built short block at 9.1:1 CR, 10% OD crank, 2.87" pulley, 6 rib, pump gas.
Yeah, regular Vortech pulley, no belt slippage. I think it's because the OD crank pulley gives more belt wrap, so less slipping.Are you using the Vortech-brand aluminum 2.87 pulley? Any belt slip issues? Thanks (sorry if this is off-topic). I'm a little surprised that the boost isn't a little higher with the 10% overdrive + the 2.87.
