I saw the Monterey Historic show on Speedvision, and they said the Porsche was producing 1100 hp, but the Shadow (UOP) that came a few years later was even more powerful (and won a title as well against the Porsches). Bruce and Denny didn't have a turbo to compete with the Porsche, but the Shadow did. It was a God knows how many cubic inch big block Chevy with a turbo...said to produce 1300+ hp at 16 lbs. of boost, and they claimed if that wasn't enough power, they could run boost as high as 27 lbs.
