Breaking 1000 HP
My car was dyno'd today and made 711 @ 10 PSI. My goal is to break 1K my mods and plans are the following:
416 LS3
Custom cam built for the motor and the blower
23X/24X lift is under .650
Lightly ported LS3 heads
G1Pro manifold
Callie's crank weisco pistons
Callie's H-beam rods
Ragin' racing's twin 340 fuel system
ID 1000 injectors
Novi 2200R
8 rib direct drive
3.7" pulley
I plan to run a 2.75" pulley and retune the car. At some point I'd like to add a flex fuel sensor and bigger injectors but E85 is not readily available near me. Will the 2.75" pulley alone be enough to break 1000 WHP?

The intake also has bosses welded in underneath for direct port meth injection..this is also in my longer term plans.

The actual number will depend on a few factors. Weather, altitude, what transmission, what dyno, etc, etc.
What's the difference if the dyno reads 900, or 1000 ? Either way it will be more power than you can use in most situations.

Ultimately, this is what drove my purchasing decisions. If I were ok with 700HP, I would have kept the stock block, and the 2200 HD blower I previously had. Instead, I went with a built block, and a bigger blower to help me get there.

Sounds like your pumps might get you there on 93, but not sure how you'll do it with any reliability without methanol. Your injectors (I don't know the math but someone probably does) won't support that power level (1000+) on anything but 93. For E85, you likely need the 1350 or 1700 size variety to have enough unless you REALLY pump up pressure, and then you'll run out of pump. 2.75" pulley on that blower should do it with the right supporting mods, but I think it will be a corner case to hit the number and you'll want to do some things to make sure you do it reliably.

Thanks for all the responses. I'll stick with the methanol and the smaller pulley. E85 just isn't available here I'm in my area of Miami. I should be picking the car up from Redline Performance next Tuesday.

More pump. More injector. 10 rib. With a filter a little less than 1,000, without filter a little more than 1,000. With meth u might do it but then u will be meth dependent, Using a lot of meth..
