I bet that truck is a handful on the street once that big single lights, but it sure sounds like fun. Those #'s are very encouraging for a 12mm VE with a single charger.

How Do You Figure That, The Boot Blew Off At 3800 First Run, And At 4300 Were Still At 460 Hp, The Truck Will Run 4500 Well, I Don't Understand What You Are Saying

I think you are referring to Crossy's comment about not fueling past 4000rpms, I believe what he means is that after about 4000rpms, your HP and torque starts to drop off pretty fast. Which is awesome that you're making good power with that many rpm's. Its just that compared to a p-pump that can fuel and make power at and above 6000rpms, it just kind of sucks that these pumps don't have that capability.

I do believe 500+hp is possible with such a charger so I am not doubting. But seems like you've avoided to answer the question of, was the 527hp fuel only or on water/meth?

I have another question. How was the rpm measured? Optical tach or 'calculation'? Thank you.

Bill so gentle today. Hahahaha, people with soft skin are no fun.

I would also like to know if it was fuel only.

Also as asked above was the rpm by a pick up on the motor or did they calculate it based on wheel speed. The reason I ask is if the rear end ratio was entered wrong that would change the rpm's.

If your running three jets for water and you don't mind me asking, what size are they?
