I think TQ is maybe a better question. A centri car could make 1200whp cause they don't make as much TQ. Right around 1000wtq is usually the limit.

That would also work. As you know I only turn it to kill for special occasions and I am running C16. I think we will make it live. I hope

Not exactly true and do work on a 4 bolt block without modification.

I mostly go by sense of acceleration upon a step change in HP and then eventually a time slip but even that doesn't tell all because I suck as a "drag strip specialist" and that's the truth of it. I don't go to the strip often enough to get "good" at it.

I've always gone by MPH at the track, not ET. Not hard to get a true MPH out of a setup. People ask me what was my ET I say I dunno but I ran 138mph, pretty awesome huh they dont know what that means. lol.

Also I've always wanted to run a restricor plate when I had my Procharger just so I could get more bottem end psi, and not overdue it on the top end. Is this what your doing? Do you get more lower end psi without the added top end that could pop your stock bottom end?

I went 145mph on a stock bottom end Ls3 at around 3900lbs

How many times? I went 145 at around 4300lbs, but my bottom end is forged.

No, in my case without the restriction plate the F-1X puts up about 18.5 psi and that is on the smallest bottom pulley. The restrictor is reigning it back to maintain about 16 psi because I am running a stock block and stock bottom end.
