The T55 made anywhere from 1600shp to 6500shp depending on the variant... I thought I read somewhere the engines in the SOQ came from the Geico project that never materialized and they were in the cell at a tick over 3500shp...could be wrong as its 10+ years since the SOQ was making news

Last I recall was before the record run they were updated to a 5000-5500hp variant but some recent reports say they were are intake limited somewhere in the 4000+ range
