Alright, barring a rule book and a proper quote, let's go with the ability to run any injector. With just injectors, fuel pump upgrade and exhaust, and the calibration work, and a pulley change, that's 700hp at the wheels. The streetcars are doing that now. With a dedicated build and high rpm valvetrain, more compression (these days running 9 to 1, 10 to 1 static with boost is normal with a modern chamber) because of the blueprinting, and an agressive tune on race fuel (or E85 if it's allowed since I think the car stock is flex fuel capable, could be wrong) it could hit 1000hp. Even if the pullies are policed, the extra rpm from "stocker" style cams will more than make up for it. Going thru the traps at 8000 plus, that blower will probably pumping 20 or more pounds of boost. Low 9's, maybe 8 second quartermile? And here's the funny thing, I am a Ford guy and I feel conflicted about letting a car like this loose in a "stock" style class where the vast majority of the cars are naturally aspirated. The bottom ends are strong enough from the factory to support 1200 rwhp. Heck, Helion put a twin turbo kit that integrates into the blower system for the 4.6 Cobra and 5.4 GT500's and made something like 1000-1200hp at the wheels; and it's totally streetable. Civilized until you give it gas and the world goes completely backwards. This car in the right hands can totally dominate the class, which just messes up the racing. It won't be close. The new Challenger will not keep up unless it can spin to 10000 rpms and live, and have a huge weight break, Chevy the same thing.
