It would be nice if VQ owners knew whether our cars are power limited at 550WHP due to engine internal strength or if it's based solely on detonation. This is important to distinguish because guys with stock motors and FI should know what the limiting factor really is.

If a tuner could get 700WHP out of my stock engin, regardless of fuel, would I really feel comfortable keeping it there (even if there are no signs if detonation)? Definitely not lol

I'm getting my car tuned in a couple weeks and I want to be prepared so I think I'll play it safe. I'll have two maps. 1 for 91 and another for 94 octane. Regardless of the amount of power he can get with the 94 I will make sure to use a boost setting that maintains no more power than 550WHP. When someone can produce information indicating it's 600WHP then I'll change it at that point. For the long haul I think that's the best approach - IMO

There are quite a few of us running 600+ for some time now. But admittedly no one with 20k miles or so. Just give it time

I'm convinced 600 with proper fuel, cooling, and tune is well within limits. Proof is in the pudding
