In '08 Judd claimed that they were doing close to 700bhp and that was measured at close to 7000rpm. Gibson also claim that their 4.5 liter V8 also was making 700bhp at the same time (though at significantly higher rpm).

The problem is that back then power was limited by air restrictors, while now they're dealing with fuel flow. They might be easily able to make well over 700bhp, but it won't be as consistent as it would be with air restrictors and no lift and coast.
