400 whp on N/A VQ possible?

No one said its impossible. Previous gen F1 engines made 700+bhp out of a naturally aspirated 2.4L engine. It's just a matter a budget really.

F1 motors have a crazy short stroke, have no valve springs and rev 18,000 rpms. Let along the cost.

There's your answer. Destroke, drysump, supporting head mods and you're set.

yeah except you don't need to destroke nor do you need anything in the heads other than stiffer springs and cams.

External oil pump, better rods, valvesprings and cams, better manifolds = 400whp
