Hard to tell what the max would be. Alot more has to be done to the motor than just a pulley swap, 700rwhp is like 800hp+ at the crank. Currently the LSA is at 556 at the crank at 9psi with 9.1 compression ratio. So it looks like a bump in compression, cam change, pulley swap, full exhaust mods will be needed to acheave those power levels. Also the current H/E and intercooler system will need to be upgraded to.
