They've been for SEMA and possibly on the road there or at the show.
Can I ask why you want a daily driver with race track hp? How many miles/km do you expect to put on the car a year/month? I'm assuming Belgium's roads are frequently damp and that kind of hp in the wet isn't much fun without traction control. When you say reliable what is your definition of reliable? Motors putting out that kind of power have much higher service requirements than 450-500 hp motors.
That's said Thompsen Automotive is one of your best choices.

Hi sir,
To be honest, I'm thinking about participate a large trip with sportscars (modball), kinda Gumball but less expensive. And not only that but also because I'm just addicted to hp... I have on this moment a Roush 427R in my stang and I can drive it like I stole it but you all know how it goes.
I know this engine is really reliable, you can take it out to everywhere...
The Nelson engines look incredible and are high end engines, it would look amazing in my car...

Understood, I was playing advocate as you don't always know the reality of who you're dealing with in the forum environment.
A dry sump Thompson LS9 would work nicely in your Ford.
What kind of power is your Roush motor producing?

A.C. Nutter (nutter racing engines) is doing a port fuel injected; computer controlled; dry sump; aluminum block, Ford 427" engine for a friend of mines project. The engine is a stroked 351 aluminum Ford SVO block.
He has figured out how to adapt GM electronics (ECM and reluctor) onto some Ford engines and even gen1 big block Chevy's. This particular Ford engine build will run the GM ECM and coil on plug set up, and Kaase heads.
I have done several engine builds with Nutter with good results. Great guy to work with on performance builds... lots of experience.
Here is a link to his website: www.nutterracingengines.com

The roush produces 550hp. It's pretty fast already...

With enuf cubic inches you can have a 600-700hp n/a daily driver without issues. The main downside is bad fuel economy and low end driveability.
A turbo or supercharger combined with a smaller cam will make it much more driveable and have the potential for waaaaaay more power
