This is my concern too.

My opinion on the wording you mention is, they say "shoots over" not "can shoot over". For example, I can make a standard Honda Civic with over 600hp, but how long after startup will it even function. So it "can", but doesn't and shouldn't.
I hope this is the case and we can still have, import and enjoy our hobby so long as we stay below the 500fps limit.
