That would be in excess of 1000 HP. The Dutweiller 450 HP turbo 2.5L is strongest street Duratec application I know of, though several 3L with turbo or S/C will soon challenge that.

FWI..it really is no big trick to make HP with boost with even the smallest of motors. Boost also overcomes poor head design & lots of other deficiencies. Lots of marginal engines out there with turbos look like hot stuff. ANY motor has great potential with enough psi is what I'm saying..nothing to brag about.
