I'm sure someone will have a twin turbo challenger/mustang motor that pushes 1500 hp plus soon if not already.
A stock block 6.1 Hemi is good for around a 1000 hp before you start to worry about the cylinder walls cracking. The 5.7 block is thicker, but no one has pushed the envelope on one just quite yet.
