My own YB made 793bhp/644ft-lb (42psi-GT40) on its last dyno run & a new engine due on the Dyno within 2 weeks will see the far side of 850bhp (42PSI-gt42) all from 2.15 litres.
With Direct Port Nitrous (200 shot) we will see 1000bhp+. This is in a fully trimmed road car used on the streets. 200mph within a mile, so dont dismiss these pommy machines lads because you have nothing like it on that great big island of yours :

Methinks it wouldn't last 1000 km either.
