Haha. In all seriousness, some of the tuned volvos and saabs get some serious power. Guy i used to take my saab to had a customer that had a 500bhp 93 Viggen on stock internals.

Still want a 740 16vT...
Or a 740 T5....
Or a 740 T6....
Infact just about any Boosted 740...

Just jump to 3:00...
The Modular Whiteblock engine is IMO one of the most underrated engines out there...
Oh and I also need this in my life:

Don't know about the newer ones but the older ones can still take some serious power without to much hassle!

Old Volvo Redblocks will take some severe power - tbh as will the whiteblocks...
350hp or so for the whiteblocks and you need new rods and pistons, but from there on in, they're pretty fooking indestructible... There's been a few 1000hp T5s in the past...
