I can't imagine any driver, Trans Am or otherwise, saying "I've got enough power in this car, it's enough".
Why don't you want as much performance as you can wring from whatever engine family you choose? Bore it, stroke it, cam it as big as you're willing to put up with. JMO.

We built a pair of motors for Shelby when he was looking at running a sort of IROC series with Cobras. They went to Las Vegas for Mario Andretti and A.J. Foyt to do testing. They told them that we'd have to pull some power out if they wanted them to drive them.
My street Backdraft car made more power than those did.
Incidentally your third sentence conflicts with your second.
