A few aftermarket components and a tune and they can easily surpass 300 hp.
Thus, manufacturers already provide cars with 150 to 180 hp per liter. So the N55 with a 3.0L turbo should be capable of producing 450-550 hp with the right tune and a few component tweaks. In addition, Burger, Vishnu, and Cobb have shown this is possible.

I agree. However It's the internals that will decide IF those numbers are really possible.
