Are you still thinking a 144 volt limit or are you hoping that this may be more comparable to a Soliton?

The IGBT's are rated for 600V and 400A each. The controller has been tested over 220V without any issues. It is designed to handle a 300V nominal pack. As long as you stick to around 400V at peak, you should be fine.
As for output current, The controller is design for 1000A continuous, not peak. As long as the water cooling keeps up, which it should, you can get 1000A all day long.
The controller was designed to be comparable to a Soliton. Infact, it uses the same brand capacitor.
