Question Horsepower vs Testosterone

Since I have a few of your trying to fiqure which rims are the best for 1/4 mile racing. Here's another tickler I feel as if I have been riding a roller coaster for the past 6 months trying to fiqure out how much horsepower is enough to get me to my "desired" 1/4 mile time of mid 11's! Is there such a thing as TOO MUCH horsepower for a streetable used Cobra. Let me clarify, I want(or do I need) approximately 600 horsepower to obtain my goal of mid 11's? Is it like injecting too much steroids and not working out? Would too much cause traction loss. Heres some of the grocery list: 351W stroker 427 mated to a TKO to a Ford 8.8 3.73. Pretty common combo. Would I be the wiser to focus my attention more on lighter internal engine componets (Crank,pistons,rods,heads,etc) and other items such as a carbon(lighter) driveshaft,electric water pump,electric fuel pump to eliminate robbing a HP from the engine. Round and round I go, HELP!
