The 2 most powerful 944 series based motors I have heard about (and believe) are still 2 8 valve cars. You get to the point where power isnt so much flow limited as it is by parts breaking.

The 944 GTR was a 8 valve head (different one)and it made over 700 flywheel hp.

The most I have heard of from a 944 based engine is 1100 rwhp, a good friend of mine was present when it was dynoed.
