i would imagine they have room to grow. for insurance reasons, being limited to 300hp

They're tuned conservative from the factory for reliability, fuel consumption, and insurance reasons. There have already been people messing with the tunes and stuff on them and picking up good power numbers. The limiting factor right now seems to be the transmission, as it's a whole new design and no one is quite sure how much power it can hold before going "BOOM"

I think the new SHO's have a lot of potential. Here's one running a 12.75
