Gale Banks was on a recent Horse Power episode this past week with the TT small block. He stated the engine was good for 1100 HP.

I'm going with the Banks TT on my NRE 434. Jason Wilcox, the head of the Banks Twin Turbo program, told me that he got 150 phone calls on Monday after the HPTV episode. If you have any questions, you can go here.
