I am well aware that this is neither a V8, nor does it produce anywhere near 3000hp. However since some people are talking about usability and "Dyno queens" and the fact that I usually don't do max power builds I felt I should present it here. What it is a reasonably large (4147cc) inline six with a turbo on it. To make it even less fitting for this thread I gave myself some limitations to make it more sensible and realistic. The year was 2020 because who cares. The material for the engine block and cylinder head were open, so I went with simple cast iron for both. The head type was limited to a two valve SOHC, I was only allowed to use forged bottom end parts and the cam profile was not allowed to be in the reds. Fuel system and configuration were once again free, but race intakes were banned, the fuel mixture was limited to 12.5:1 and it had to run pump gas* (*Note that I live in europe, where 95RON is pretty much the standard at petrol stations and 98RON is widely available, and even though a few petrol stations also sell 100RON, for the sake of useability I chose to use 98RON). Finally I was not allowed to exceed 2.00 Bar (29.0076 psi) of boost, and with the exception of the valvetrain quality sliders were capped at +5.
This is the finished product:

As you can see, a pretty potent 952hp and 1018Nm, with an effective powerband that spans a range of 4300rpm. Reliability is a robust 76.6 and the specific fuel consumption wouldn't be out of place in something from 40 years ago, at 538.9g/kWh. Relative to the displacement difference it would produce 2492hp.
Once that was done I went full dyno queen mode on it and tried to find out how much the same engine architecture is capable of:

Adjusted for displacement disparities it develops 3327hp. So there.
