Not Ranked
I REDUCED my horse power from over 600 to around 500 and am very happy with the results. While it is possible to get 600 AND have decent street manners with the motor it's going to cost you, a lot. Getting 500 is fairly easy with a big block AND retain decent street manners. In addition I was surprised, I would say even astounded, to find there was no significant difference between 600 and 500. 1/4 mile ET was still within a hundreth of a second, you could not "feel" the difference, you had to measure it with electronic timing.
The reason, I believe, is traction limits. If you can only hookup 500 then anything over that is essentially a waste of time.
