Most powerful C32

I was curious if anyone knows what the most horsepower one put down. I would like to know numbers with bolts only. I don't mean with Nitrious, just pulley intakes headers exhaust. It seems the 3.2 doesn't get to 400rwhp

I DON'T COME HERE ANYMORE
I got to 780 in a game on a C32....does that count? No NAWS!
I havent seen 400rwhp either-but at 350 and starting to shave weight (if you start going there)-rotors, wheels, CF body pieces, lexan glass, AC loss, ect-that can add up (and sometimes be cheaper) then actual powa mods-360ish is the highest I can recall seeing around here-

There were lots of promised bolt ons in the past that would get us at or over 400hp to the wheels but that is yet to be seen. There is supposed to be a bigger TB coming out for the 32 some time soon. I believe it was TVT working on that. Not sure what it will add up to but every little bit helps at this point. I am still hoping to see over 400 to the wheels w/o NOS.
I had joked about pulling the back seat out of my car since I never use it accept for thowing junk in the back. The wife shot me down and said I had to keep room for a car seat. Her eggs are droppin and I see my modding fund getting blown on diapers so, over 400 may be a pipe dream for me....
If anyone can do it, Jake would be the one to do it first.

Evosport's C32 (Vadim's) made over 410rwhp without NOS over 5 years ago, so it can be done.

Jake (loungn14) has proven to be one of the fastest, at least in the US.

His list of mods: "All of them... and a couple more just for the heck of it"

was that on a dynojet?

i think with a larger tb, headers, and a dynojet i can hit 400whp no nitrous. and if not, throw in 100 octane to make 93 octane and definitely get it (i run 91)

I forgot about Vadims car. What all did he do to his again?

jturkel, I think if the bigger TB will give us ~10hp to the wheels, we should be very close to 400 on a dynojet. My highest hp dyno was 352 but tq was down around 373 on that run. I'm thinking the headers gained little to no hp but did gain some tq.

AFAIK, Vadim's R&D on the C32 while back at evosport was done on a dynojet. Search the archives, there're a ton of "R&D" threads by Vadim from back-in-the-day. IIRC, they achieved 400+ rwhp by going to a huge crank pulley; started to experience reliability issues, so they backed it off back down to the 178mm pulley.

We are not all blessed with DA of -1500ft out here in the west. DA of +3500ft is more like it.

We run 185mm pulley and we hit the A/F issue and over boot CEL. How did they address the A/F issue and CEL on 192mm pulley back then?

I don't think they did and that's why they ended up with the 178 which was/is still a pretty strong setup.

My dynojet run was 377/378 till I ran out of fuel. Set-up is 181 my own modified mani's sl-55 intake and kooks racing dual exhaust. I'd post a picture of my car, but everytime I put the picture in the avitar it tells me it is too larger no matter how many times I resize it. Anyway I was thinking of throttle body and headers, but am starting to wonder if the supercharger is the neck in the bottle and 377 is maximum flow?? Ideas, thoughts opinions??

i thought the bottleneck was the map sensor since it throws out cells past 22psi.

SC is NOT the bottleneck...yet anyway. Fuel seems to be more of a culprit.
