Having to run race gas just didn't work for me, it's to limiting on how far you can drive for one thing. Not to mention the extreme cost! It's not like you can just pull off the freeway at any given place and find race gas. I need something that can go the distance and is reasonably easy to care for, maintain and buy fuel at a decent price for.

Having said that, I did give up some horse power when I rebuilt for a more streetable tuned motor. Most of the time, I don't miss the really BIG power because I can barely hook up what I got anyway! Tires are always the limiting factor. BUT, when I'm running the race slicks (front and rear) and tearing up Infineon raceway, I do find myself wanting a bit more power in the higher gears.
