A lot of hotrodders love to claim incredible power outputs for their engines when tested separately, but those usually do not relate much to real world use. There are all kinds of tricks to make your engine look powerfull on the bench.

The Vyron was EPA tested so its power rating is for the engine in the car which is much harder.

But I have no idea why they used a carburated engine. That seems too low tech.
