my 31 ao ran 93-94 gps with stock 496 mag HO's... and since i sold it resigns on LOTO.... the ao i'm driving now runs... 115 ish with 502's and 420's making just under 700hp with 1.5 gears and 36 props... not the best gearing but it's what it has...

Not in this lifetime. Even with 525 EFI's it's a stretch...

it will take between 600-700+ hp to push a 3100 AO that speed , depending on all the setup... lightweight or standard, boxes, drives, tunnel tab.......
