Tom.
As you and others may know, I have never been an advocate of 600 hp in one of these types of cars.
(Unless it is a race car only. Then you can never have too much.)
As a point to support my thinking.
Chuck Miller's JBL has a bone stock FMS 351 crate engine. This car is used almost daily, (40k miles at this time) has served as a parts delivery car, and is used up and down the coast between San Diego and Carmel with abandon. (He must be a madman to drive it in LA freeway traffic.)
But with only a tire change to Hoosiers, it is always in the top 5 "Cobras" at Willow Springs.
But, you are correct. For bench racing, 600 hp is perfect.
By the way, I certainly understand about motorcycles, I gave them up early on. Everytime I got on one, it spit me off. I did not even have to start them, just get on it and I would find myself in very close proximity to the ground
Once again, Great choice of car. You will be more than pleased with the Kirkham.
