Merc already has the 850SC, why would they want a motor that makes just 800? I think they bought the company to suppress competition.

The engine turned over twice and sprang to life. Everyone broke out into a grin as the dyno brought the engine up to 3000 rpm and held it steady. People shook their heads and smiled and laughed as the engine sat on the dyno and sang its song. In only 19 months Steve Mugerauer's idea for an engine had become a reality. An effortless 800 horsepower that can run all day and all year without hurting itself.

Re: Bigger Merc Power
OK, I decided not to be lazy today... using this formula:
Torque = (HP * 5252) / RPM, I make it 1400 lbs-ft of torque if the motor is making 800 hp at 3000 rpm. That's a hell of a lot of twist!! Now imagine plopping a blower on it!
