With big turbos and that torque carried over - should be able to see 700-800hp easily.
I was (just for kicks) once doing the math. Using the often cited "tranny is good for 600 lbft" figured I mod the engine (upgraded turbos, fueling, breathing, maybe some WM for octane) and tune to just 'hold that torque' to say 7200 rpm. Voila: 822 HP.

Ditto using the 550 awTQ = 735 lbft from the (poorly tuned) dyno run we had: 1k HP
Now, just have to put that into the real world. Would make a nice Grand Touring car.
