So having said that, FBM are currently at 600 + whp. I'd say that its crazy to think that will last years, but it is holding for now. Supposedly, Don from Accelerated Performance is at 700+ whp. I believe Dynosty is at 500+ whp.

Giving me personal opinion, 300 whp should last years (of course taken with a grain of salt, because years of 10-12 track day events and years of 0-1 track events are very different animals).

It will all be based on use, maintenance, heat management, track duty, etc. I still say, a DD who spiritedly drives, has rare track days, 300 is a good number.
Don's is now built I believe...But he was still pushing over 400+ for quite a while including several 1/4 mile passes.
