If there is a Honda/Acura DPI, it'll probably use the Earth Dreams twin turbo V6 out of the NSX. And it's well known that GT3 based engines can usually handle a lot more power than they're usually restricted to.

In GT3 spec, the Audi R8, BMW M6, Mercedes-Benz AMG GT, and others are making nearly 600bhp. Granted, such cars are de-tuned considerably for GTD due to inter-class BOP (separate GT3s from GTEs in terms of speed), but in full GT3 spec, most of those cars are already making about the same power as the Cadillac DPI and doing so reliably.
