Good question. Unfortunately I've personally learned the hard way what can happen if you push a motor too hard, when it hasn't been properly reinforced and maintained. After one terrible blown motor experience I would rather set a safe goal, which is really as fast as I'll ever need to drive, while attempting to keep wear and tear down. The reinforced block was never a question as after market twin turbos inherently need stronger parts. But being a bit gun shy from past lessons, I don't feel the need to set a dramatic power goal. I'm all about longevity and protecting my investment.

I am however secretly hoping to max out closer to 650
