Hmm, 435hp real world, but probably higher bench results because you sound excited by the potential so 560hp

Hefty in reply to @TRA

560 would be about the theoretical maximum assuming it's designed to last more than a few hundred miles, but @Dammit has talked about wanting a sensible, tractable road engine so I'd say 80lbft a litre is a good target, which would give 500bhp at 9000rpm.

TRA in reply to @Hefty

I seriously doubt anyone would build a n/a road car engine to produce max power at 9000rpm so yah, I'd be happy with a reliable and accessible 400hp at 7000 😎
