I've seen 800 WHP from a 2.4 liter engine with my own eyes. They could possibly put the Ecotec in Corvette. Here is a quote:

"By making additional changes in the cylinder lining and cylinder heads, GM Racing engineers have been steadily increasing the ECOTEC's output to where they are now on the threshold of 1000 horsepower!

When F1 ran turbo engines an engineer commented that the only limit on the power they were able to produce was the strength of the engine block and the amount of fuel they could flow. Doesn't mean the power is usable on the street!

It would sound like a crotch rocket at 15,000 rpms. Probably drive like one, too.
