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.

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 😎

Agreed. Snot what he asked tho. :)

That said my R1 engined Fury was perfectly bearable as a road car with its redline at 13k and max power at 12.

So long as you wore ear plugs and a full face helmet.
