I would say max 360bhp tbh on full boost & hard extended use

On my original gt28 setup when i changed to Autronic SM4 ecu & custom mapping my car made 385bhp but was advised that at that power the engine internals were right on their limit for that power & was advised not to run the car for extended periods on full boost/hard on that power

Bear in mind though if the pistons are out of a used / worn FRS then they may not take as much power - there have been a couple of FRS out there on less power & higher mileage than mine that have let a piston go
