What for? Drags? Road Courses? You will run out of car and handling before you run out of motor, mod the car first, for your intended use.

600rwhp or so will be about the limit, Naturally Aspirated, that is! That is, with the right combo.

agreed...you'll most likely have to add a power adder. Speedsouth, made a 427ci with one stage of nitrous and made 700+hp...the second stage is still coming....if your looking for 800+, make sure you can hook up...no sense in all that power and no way to make it to the ground
