With a cam and D1, I made 640rwhp easily. You won't find a pulley big enough to keep you below 550rwhp so no worries.

In order for me to make the jump from 750rwhp to my goal of 1000rwhp with only boost, I would have to get a new head unit, bigger injectors with the corresponding controller, maybe new manifold and who knows what else. Then to do it on pump may still not have been enough.

I think the motor can't really tell where the air is coming from whether it be compressed or a gas. Therefore, I think it's best if you reach your goal with boost first, then add on when you're maxed or you're wasting money.
that being said then mate i dont know why more guys aren't running Prochargers and N2O!!!

a 700rwhop car for the street that will make 1000rwhp at the track with gas sounds VERY good to me! and with a setup like users, where you are running race fuel for the N2O, its should be pretty safe with a decent tune (allways a must on a boosted car!!).

Cheers

I think it's not used as much because of the same desire I had, to make all your power all the time. That's why we went with boost in the first place right? I have seen 427+ci motors with F1-C units on them not eclipse 1000rwhp on pump fuel.

i was thinking more about turbo guys. you are right thought, guiys are making massive numbers with boost alone these days.

If I had a turbo I would just up the boost with a couple settings for street/strip. Since I would have to spend $3K on just the F1 needed to have that setup with a blower, I threw on some spray instead.

The LSX turbo crowd doesn't really need spray to build boost because we have cubes.

some good points. i was thinking of stuff like the APS or TTi kits. yeah you can make 1000bhp through them, but if you wantred a little more what would you do??......add a little N2O!

also thinking about the sts guys. i have seen n2O work VERY well in getting BIG turbos to spool on small (Audi 2.2 5 pot) engines.

plus its allways nice to do things slightly different.
