Default 3.0 Engine Power Limits???

So I have a few built cars and played with performance cars my whole life. I'm just curious if anyone has actually pushed the newer 3.0 Aluminum block hard enough to find it's power limits. Clearly, the car would have to be switched to turbocharged to make enough power. I tune Fueltech and Haltech, and have an 800whp 1993 RX7 with a Haltech. Just curious if anyone has pushed this car beyond lower pulley and off the shelf ECU reflash for around 400awhp. I'm sure this motor and trans can easily make 5-600awhp if properly setup with turbo(s) and a standalone ECU. I appreciate any info as I haven't been able to find much online.

Before you go pushing the Jag V6 to its' outer/power limits you need to know that it has a split crankshaft. They use the V8 block, blank off the two cylinders next to the firewall, and split and reassemble (bolt) the crankshaft so it gives you a wider valley for the supercharger and realign the split for maximum balance. Don't know how strong the crank is after reassembly but you may find out

Look up FType17 on the F-type forum - think he’s reported over 600HP.
