Worlds fastest boats
It sounds like some of the fastest rigs at the shootout have pretty similar setups. 572-588s with PSI blowers. Nothing particularly wild about that. Probably just really good components and turned up to kill.
American ethanol was the only boat with really wild piston power.

Depends on what year you go.
Turbo'd Sterlings ran pretty fast (195) at Shootout in 2013
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_LMjnEEq9o 192 in 2012 (Top Gun) with the GT Performance bullets in Greg Olsen boat. 588 inch quad rotor Whipple setup.
Those are some pretty wild setups where I'm from. What were you expecting to see?

One of my all time favorite different/unique combos that I got to see run was Brendan's 2JZ powered Eliminator. Super nice guy, and I'd love to see him stick one of his drag car setups in another boat, since this one is sold.

And, this is an acceleration contest of sorts, and most of the big boys where still accelerating across the finish line....so, they weren't using all the power they may have had.
PSI's are big screw blowers than can handle,I believe,up to like 50psi.
^^Above just my round table thoughts. Those boats way out of my league by huge exponential#'s.LOL.)

the wild thing about this boat was it has 4 engines and 2 drives . each set of motors were attached at the cranks to make them a v16 style powerplant
