they will last quite well, that engine was 1234bhp out of a 3.4ltr, thats 362bhp/ltr

the same sort of stress as a 720bhp cosworth yb engine and its possible to make them last.

though to be honest 1200bhp from a supra isnt anything exciting as daft as it sounds, they produce much bigger power than that over in the US, for example

1700bhp is more the numbers i see impressive, but even that isnt the max power these engines can produce.

in drag applications running methanol they go up to 2000bhp
