Some of you HP nannies kill me. mhacars; your car has too much HP, so you only drive it once a year?! WTF? If it scares you that bad lower the boost. You other guys telling him how much he doesn't need; lay off. The OP addressed "HP freaks." Not "HP nannies." My FE has just shy of 550 at the FW and though it'll act ugly if I do something stupid I don't consider it some sort of death warrant. In fact, I drove it almost daily for a month this summer just because it's so damn fun. Right now I'm in the process of replacing all the rubber bushings in the rear of the car with solids because I want less movement in the rear under power. That being said, I've considered a Paxton or Vortec on more than one occasion and still think it'd be a blast! To the OP: you go for it man! Don't listen to the "too much HP" grannies, build that gnarly beeeotch and have a blast! Are you going to have to be careful? Yes! Can you drive it like your Dodge Neon? No! Can you drive it and have fun with it without killing yourself or someone else? Absotivley! Even with (insert number)HP?
