Nope, I'm still king of the hill at 972 with two nitrous solenoids wide open, STOMP made 899......STOMP also made mid 600's on fuel as did KTA. I've heard lots of rumors, but nothing solid yet. Most people are scared of the 14mm pumps.

I'm working on putting twins on mine, should help the fuel only numbers, but I think 1,000 is unreachable with the VE's without silly spray. As a side note, mine did make 1,026 corrected, but since I don't believe in corrected numbers, 972 it was.

Still had to throw it out there even though you "don't believe in corrected numbers", eh?

Ha ha

It may sound weird coming from me, but I feel like people get too caught up chasing numbers. If someone made 500, 600, or 700hp with a VE I'd be more than happy for them. Shoot, even a 450hp VE is fast cause they're so light! And, completely doable with a 12mm.

Ya just need to dyno that beast on an 18 degree day at a corrected altitude of 300 feet below sea level.

At this point I'd just be happy to have mine on the road at 160hp.
