The parts and technology are out there to make to make 300hp+ naturally
aspirated on both the 8v and 16v.
I have seen an 8v spin up to 14500 on stock rods during an engine dyno test
just before it punched a hole in the block. It was pushing over 300hp and
still climbing when the rod decided it had enough.
The engine is used for USF3 open wheel racing and was having its limits
tested hence the destructive testing.
The 2.0 16v has also been built up to just shy of 300 by Audi for use in its
BTCC cars in the early 90s. Its key to note though that was with a rules rev
limit of 8500 imposed so its peak HP was at 8250.
No idea on what these motors cost but goes to show it can be done.
