Richard,

Before this topic becomes history, I want to thank you for sharing your perspective on our fantasy machines. In 17 years of driving my beast, I have had some serious mishaps with only 400 hp and often wondered if I would still be ALIVE if I had built more power.

Yet, the itch is there to build a bigger engine. Logically, I know I can rarely push the pedal all the way to the floor now. If I do, the speedo is suddenly over 100. Unlike many of the comments I read about here, NOBODY wants to race me. The sidepipe noise must be intimidating? The car is reliable for long distance events and never overheats. I also know that more power would mean more broken driveline components.

Your noteworthy advice has changed my goal of building a bigger engine.

Thank you,
Paul
