Just over 500hp on an engine dyno has been made by a DE engine, so 400whp should certainly be obtainable by a VHR. RPM is the ticket... The DE has to have a dry sump to spin that high, as the oil pump is a time bomb over 7000 track, 7500 street. If the VHR oil pump can handle 9000rpm (which is hard to chew... not many factory pumps can), and if the VVEL can handle that, I think it could see 400whp with a pretty basic build.

I mean... mike's dyno graph there is peaking at 7200.... thats pretty damn low to be making so much HP/L. There is clearly so much more to be made as the community takes more steps. It might take a while before someone gets to 400, but I think it will happen.
