I think the most anyone's run on the street is around 400-425 rwhp. Lee Noble's been running one in the mid-engined sports car series and winning though, and I think that's probably putting much more strain on the powertrain than street use.
It uses 265/35YR18 tires in the rear. The stock tires are DOT-R semi-slicks. I'm sure that if we were talking about street tire or smaller tire applications, it could take a LOT more power.
