My aluminator finally came in and now just waiting to place my order for a Fore system from Beef. I have a 3.33 pulley that will be going on so hoping I get some pretty good numbers out of this head unit. Now if I can crack 800 on e85 I'll be a happy camper!

Hope so, I don't see too many people using a smaller pulley on the v3. Not really trying to break records either haha. Yes, it comes with factory headers and the only thing it doesn't come with is an alternator.

Congrats on the new motor. I have a 3.25 on my V3 right now. Getting a fore fuel system as well w E85. I'm gonna do the 8 rib conversion and throw a 2.95 on it though. Should be fun.

Thanks guys. Last time I was on the dyno I made 580whp and 491tq. I still have the 3.25 pulley on my mind, what kind of numbers are you putting down with that?

I made 728 with the v3 with the 3.33 6 rib on stock motor e85. I'd like to see what the limits of these little blowers are.

How long did you have to wait for the Aluminator?

8-rib and a 10% OD harmonic balancer may be a good fit.

I ran yesterday my best was a 9.88 @ 138. My best MPH yesterday was 141. I'm happy with the little v3 but if I had the aluminator I'd go with the 2200 or JT trim.

unreal... congrats! How much boost are you making with the 3.33 pulley and how much timing? Who is the tuner? What are you revving to?

141 mph is HUGE.

very impressive



Im ordering an centri in 3 weeks and am still torn on the black v3 or the 2200. I will likely never build my motor.

I think im going to go v3 with a 3.48 pulley to begin with.



How responsive is the v3 down low?

I got oil pump gears that's it. Running the 3.33 it's right around 13.5-14 pounds. The v3 will be more than enough for the stick motor.

Rev auto is the tuner and I'm not real sure on timing. Shifting right around 7300 with the stock intake manifold.

It took a little over a week to arrive, but I just took my time to order it. Those are some good numbers you're putting down. What was your TQ?
