Highest HP from an RX8

I tried searching but came up with no results.
Whats the highest recorded HP on the wheels for any RX8 in the US or anywhere else in the world ?

If you're wondering, the reason I'm asking this I'm thinking of getting an 8 and
was wondering whether it would be enough for me or not.

P/s. I'm from Malaysia. Whereby most of them are near stock.

hope you'll help me. Thank you.

I saw that thread, and look thru all of its 8 pages. It didn't help really as there were only a handful of dyno charts.

brettus, I'd like to know the highest hp from a modded rx8. Thanks.

^I think you are right about 361 (at least somewhere around there, can't remember) being the highest for a Turbo 13b-MSP.

BUT, what about a 20B swap. That is still just a modified RX8, albeit highly modified. It depends totally on what "modded" means in the eyes of the poster and until it is defined clearly, there will be no clear answer.

I haven't seen one either, I was just trying to illustrate that the OP should give a little more info into what he thinks a "modded RX8" is.

For true, now that people have the ignition mod, its only a matter of time until someone runs race fuel and puts up 450+ on stock internals.
