198 makes perfect sense to me.

We built a 4 plug engine and got about 180 at 6.5K and while it was a bit fluffy below 3K, that was probably tuning as much as anything and it was otherwise great on road and track (not that I'd want to drive it in traffic regularly!).

With the better ports, valves and pistons of the TS engine, the extra power seems quite reasonable. I'd be surprised if 220 wasn't out of the question for a big lift high revving engine.

I have seen several 220/230 Hp TS engines, but these were built for Race Cars and different purpuse.

Taking a 220 Hp TS engine to the market for customer cars and road application is absolutely stunning and unique imo. There aren't many companies who have the balls and experience to do so.
