Ernie, I always knew you were a night bird
I agree with the too much HP. You can create a car that has only one prupose. For the street, it is different than if you plan to drag race.
I kept my engine conservative ( well... sort of ) so I could drive it without heat, fuel and wear factors to deal with on a daily basis. Tinkering every week or so is fine for me.
Just my $0.02
