Question serpentine belts removal??

I am just wondering if for strip use only it would hurt to remove all drive belts.. and if anyone has done this what kind of difference did it make?

With an electric waterpump and short belt (manual rack), no A/C belt, my car made 459.

With no belts at all, my car made 465. But I don't shine too much to removing the alternator supply from a totally electronic car. My belt is staying on.

Running no belt is not smart. Even w/elec water pump you need the alternator...1/4 mile as well. WJ.
