Last I saw, it was making a little over 500whp with a similarly puny amount of boost, and they were driving it on-track at VIR. A stronger N52 could be an absolute beast, keeping the stock heads and flow-y bits on it...
Just curious where you came across the info on a N52 making 500+ at the wheels let alone with only minuscule 6 lbs or thereabouts of boost. I'd love to read up on it. Those are some serious numbers and I'd like to know how they accomplished this feat and were able to keep the motor together while doing it.
