What was it's power? 533 ps? Is that metric?
you have the same question that i did.
here's what i found with a little searching.. with what i read it looks like 1ps is about 3/4 hp so im going to assume, that the dyno in the video is about 450 whp, probaly a low boost,
i have a mag saying he plans to break his top speed record that he did in a skyline, i think it was 215mph? he aims at 230/245?? and say's he'll need around 1000hp to get there.

[edit] PS
This unit (German: Pferdestärke = horse strength) is no longer a lawful unit, but is still commonly used in Europe, South America and Japan, especially by the automotive and motorcycle industry. It was adopted throughout continental Europe with designations equivalent to the English "horse power", but mathematically different from the British unit. It is defined by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB)[1] in Braunschweig as exactly:
1 PS = 75 kp·m/s = 0.73549875 kW = 0.9863201652997627 hp (SAE)
The PS was adopted by the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) and then by the automotive industry throughout most of Europe.
In the 19th century the French had their own unit, called the poncelet (p) In 1992, the PS was rendered obsolete by EEC directives, when it was replaced by the kilowatt as the official power measuring unit. It remained in use for commercial and advertising purposes, as customers were not familiar with the use of kilowatts for combustion engines
Sorry for the repost, I figured I would have seen those at some point, strange. Oh well what is done is done.
