Ender2664 -- I'm one of the few people on this forum that doesn't lie about his car's horsepower. I put out just under 500 HP at the flywheel. I can never use it all on the street. I can't even hit WOT for more than a second or two. Just testing my engine to make sure my secondaries open properly is dangerous. If you're going to be driving predominantly on the street, I think 350 to 400 at the flywheel is an honest, truthful answer as to how much you need. Even that amount will kill you in a heartbeat....
