I guess some Swedish guys make 900 HP from a 'redblock' shaped object, and sometimes more. But that's into NHRA-style territory with exotic fuels and $$$$$ engine builds that get rebuilt *frequently* Veeeeery expensive.
Meanwhile, stock block unopened junkyard truck motor can be driven all the time, thrashed on with little care because another one is $$$ and a few days, not $$$$ or $$$$$ and a few months to replace.
Not to mention, the engine still has lots of power off boost, 350 - 400-ish hp off boost is nothing to scoff at.
