Assuming the stroker could make about 450 HP (pretty easy to do), on one bar you would be looking at about 900 HP...more if you turned it up.

Honestly, for a street car I can't see anybody using more than my car already has...maybe upstairs on the highway, but not in the lower gears. It would be overkill in my opinion. The nice thing about turbos is you don't need a lot of displacement to drive them and make big power numbers and have the car fully streetable.

Have a look at this:

Under 400 cubic inches and the car will run below 10 seconds in a 1/4 mile with dual turbos. It's nice to see someone applying modern technology like this in a heavily "big displacement and big blower" dominated marketplace. That is a major departure from the norm.
