It should dyno close to 850 with timing and injection maxed out. My engine builder recommended the nv4500 with a billet input shaft. He ran one on his pulling truck for years without any problems, but the np205 transfer case i'm worried about. I'm using a rebuilt unit bored larger for extreme duty bearings, i'm told the gears like to walk up on each other. I picked up a spare if i need it. The other weak link is my 14 bolt rear, it may last a little while but definitely not forever. I talked to a local shop who can bore the tubes and housing to fit larger gears and billet shafts. I probably could've spent more time researching a stronger set-up but i'm too impatient
