Why do some publications claim 800 and some 950? That seems to me like a pretty large discrepancy there.

Yeah, I noticed that too. The 850 was RWHP maybe they were guessing at flywheel HP for the cover.

I think thye can alter the boost from 600 -1100 bhp but settle at 800-900 for reliability.

DAMN! That is awesome. If they could put that setup on my car for less then $10k right now i would have it done. 11k rpm redline damn did they go all out on this. I am 99% sure that they couldn't do this for less then 10k on my car. Prob costs like 30k or something.
