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....
thank you, I appreciate the information. I was thinking with the weight being so low that a 400hp motor would have this thing running low 11s all day long, and that is more than enough for me!
