A much better path financially than building the motor at peak power now and having to completely redesign in to 3-5 years to keep up with the competition.

Shaq diesel is bang-on correct. Look at the date of his post.
Here it is now 2017 and we've had stock @ 560HP, CP @ 575HP, Jarhe 30 @ 600 HP and now rumours of the F90/G30 or what ever it's called will be 600HP+ all with assuringly the same basic configuration. I'd predict this engine @ 650HP+ before the production ends.
