I am curious how the motor would hold up over time at that power level, but just not popping from one run gives me hope. After living in Japan and messing with a bunch of different turbo motors, I've changed how I judge how "good" a motor is at being power. Turbos and EFI have changed the game to the point that the limiting factor is now the architecture of the motor and how well it can physically hold together given the right internal components, tuning, etc. The 2JZ for example will easily exceed 1000hp on the stock bottom end, and 2000hp with the stock block. My beloved RB's (Skyline engines) can get to 1000hp on the stock block. Even tiny little 2L 4 bangers like the 4G63 can get up towards 1000hp. If they made 850 hp with no signs of the head lifting or the block cracking--especially with a 4" bore, it bodes well for big power for our motors.
