They based on the turbo listed here they can not be pushing 1000hp. The L is fast based on weight, drag/aero, suspension.
Subaru motors do not run very long at 800+hp That is the man reason these guys made the block they did. The case halves will not take it. Way to much distortion going on. I'd put GST around the 700whp range and I would say that would be their full blown race/record map. Racing is not all about highest HP or TQ, Its about making the most you can and having it last thru the race your in.

But still doesn't push the fact that EJ cases are not going to hold 800WHP+ numbers and last for ****. The split case will not do it.
And I know 1st hand what a 35R will do on a race motor and with race gas. It runs out of steam up top.
But what ever....
