Buy as much horsepower as you can afford regardless of the engine choice. I love my 351W/385hp, but wish I had about another 100 or so hp!

My favorite drive was in a 347 that had 500+hp and I think was redlined at over 7000rpm. (not real sure about this) What a thrill, especially when we merged onto Interstate 8 at about 7000rpm in 2nd gear. It really caught the eye of the CHP officer who came up next to us as we shifted into 3rd. He just wagged a finger at us and grinned. We went quickly into 5th and slowed down. That engine is a real screamer and sounds great.
