Points well taken. I am certainly not interested in horsepower for the sake of bragging rights, and I don't want to sacrifice the longevity of my engine for outrageous horsepower. However, the alumunium Shelby engine package I'm looking at has apparantly dynoed in excess of 600 hp (crank, of course). Compression is in the 10's, so it runs on pump gas.
Am I hearing some of you right -- that 600 hp is unusable? If so, what is the practical limit for backroad/canyon/street driving? Never thought I'd be looking for ways to REDUCE horsepower
