We all know high compression and FI don't go well together. Even then the CR of the 370 is not much different from my turbo'd 350DE, which held up well at 400whp. Combine that with the much beefier internals of HR engines and you've got one stout motor. In the end it all comes down to the tune with a proper EMS.
I am more curious as to where the OP is making his statement. I highly doubt any automobile manufacturer will tune their car to the brink of destruction. It would have to be a variable on the users end or a factory defect causing this phenomenon.
