Negative, you'd blow that up...the M56 FWD 850s in sweden hold 700+ HP without too many issues aside from traction, its the only realistic way to go.

I also traveled to Dallas earlier this year to take a look at an S60R (M66) that dyno'd 540 WHP and the trans was not the issue although he had a stage V clutch. He did put enough torque into the front wheels (was in FWD mode) that it tore the entire passenger side shock assembly out and the wheel proceeded to enter the fender and door area. So - his problem wasn't the trans!

Yes - I even work on Christmas so here are some more pics!

We've all lost a knuckle or two while working on our engines. Nothing that a couple Heinekens won't cure!!! ;)

Slowly breaking it down...

Take a look at my Exh. Manifold gasket(s) which are probably original. This is how it was when I took the manifold off. If you look close enough, you can see that I had a tad bit of exhaust leak on one and five. Also notice that white gummy stuff along the head gasket!

When I get a bit bored with the Engine stuff, I throw stuff on the buffer. I took the RIP that I got from Doug K. last week and threw it on the buffer for a mirror shine. Also put a bit o' spice on the Thermo housing that was originally polished by VolFan (quality work). Look for a bunch of clean polished stuff on this engine. It's theraputic! Although, seeing CJ's powder coated gear sure makes me rething things a bit!!!
