Do you guys think tuners will take it to an even higher level than the current Stage V 700 hp mark? I know gemballa has some 850 hp kit, but it's ridiculously priced to let's stick to the regular guys, S car go, evo, pes, imagine, ect. How much more power can the TT make? Will they go further?

If you go more than 700hp, it will be "ridiculously" priced no matter who you go to. The car will need internal work, period.

We crossed way over the 700 hp line almost a year ago. Just under 750 is realistic with liquid CO2 induction air cooling and N20. With CO2 and nitrous lower 800's.

Your stock rods are a definite unanswered question after 700 hp. Take care of the rods, add GT3 Cup heads, exhaust cams, larger intakes, tubo's, exhausts, lighten the crank, 102/104 mm pistons, etc and the power increases will start all over again.

Why would the GT3 cup heads be better? Aren't they designed for an NA application?

The stock rods are suitable for 700 hp reliably, correct? How about a 50 shot on top of that?

No one seems to know what the stock rods are good for? It is not so much the hp as it is the torque. The GT3 Cup heads can be used with a turbo. The valves are about 5mm larger. You need to change the exhaust cam is all.
