I am going to pretty much go with what Fred Douglass said. There is a balance here that has to be struck for streetcars. I am going to let a cat out of the bag here. About a year ago The motor I am using now in another carnate RW dyno'd at 1047 horsepower at 5800rpms. Wow you say? Bragging? Nope, my car has a 17 gallon fuel cell. You know where this is going? I sent the motor back to my engine guy with the instructions to raise the compression ratio and cut way back on the boost. The idea of stopping to fuel up every 70 miles in a Cobra somehow just didn't set well with me. Point is you should define what your car needs are, then work that way to meet those needs. This horsepower thing and lately the techno thing is just a bunch of moncho BS. Horsepower is only usefull if you are happy with the car. The power should not define the cars gendra. Otherwise you will just have a blown Pacer that runs 8's in the quarter, and who cares?
